Customer Travel Tip: Dont overstay. Head for Rotorua/Taupo or even Wellington instead.
Liked: Not much.
Disliked: Auckland is rather boring as a city and unnecessarily expensive. Driving in Auckland can be confusing with all the one way streets intersecting and merging. Saw some traffic signals Ive never seen anywhere else, like lanes painted at 30 degree angles. 5 lanes merge to 2, and some 4 lane one way streets. The whole place felt desolate and sterile. Some of the suburbs are nicer.
