Holy Trinity Cathedral

The Viaduct area of the city has been redeveloped to make it an upmarket waterfront location. With ocean views and great waterfront nightlife this is a great choice for travellers. Still only around 10 minutes walk from the CBD and many of the main attractions but offering a less bustling feel to the area. Options in this area tend to be priced higher.

If you want somewhere a little quieter and more picturesque, consider the Mount Eden region. With older more historical buildings and famous craters, this area has a quiet but trendy café and bar culture. A short drive from the centre of the city, with some public transport connections to the main areas too.

If travelling with kids or family, you can’t go wrong with the Mission Bay area. Situated on the east coast, you will find a sandy beach, parks, and a variety of restaurants and bars located on the waterfront. A popular area to stay in – make sure you book early.
