The Location

Imagine an urban environment where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanting islands. Add a sunny climate, a background rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for outstanding food, wine and shopping, and you’re beginning to get the picture of Auckland, the largest and most diverse city in New Zealand.

One of Auckland's nicknames, the "City of Sails", is derived from the popularity of sailing in the region. Enjoy the scenic harbour, or if you have your sea legs, venture out to one of the idyllic islands close by.

The region is dotted with 48 volcanic cones, which provide spectacular panoramic views of the city and harbour. Many are surrounded by lush parkland, making them perfect picnic spots.

If you want to live in a city which offers the up market urban lifestyle and is surrounded by beautiful coastlines and wine country then Auckland is the place for you!
