Auckland - good restaurants for a special occasion
We will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary while on holiday in
Auckland. Any suggestions for good restaurants? It's an occasion when we aren't too concerned about price (I guess we only get one 25th!) but we'd probably prefer a place that does innovative things with top quality local ingredients (sort of "Mod Oz" or "fusion" if we were in Australia). I like some seafood, but my husband is less keen, so a top seafood restaurant probably isn't the best choice. On a similar note, any recommendations for good B-n-Bs or boutique hotels in the Auckland area? I was thinking perhaps in the Devonport area, but open to other picturesque areas by the harbour (or with other great vies)? Kerry |

Try the 'Orbit' restaurant located at the top of the Sky Tower, with 360° of views out over Auckland from a good vantage point. http://www.skycityauckland.co.nz/sky...orbit_home.cfm |

We were there this past March and enjoyed it. I would also recommend renting a car (check with your credit card companies about rental insurance well in advance of your trip). NZ has a NZ $2500 bond requirement. The black sand beaches west of Auckland are really nice. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |
