Auckland's waterside location has fostered the locals' love affair with the sea, earning this place the nickname "City of Sails".
Auckland sprawls over a narrow isthmus between the sparkling waters of the Waitemata and Manukau Harbours. Two of the best island getaways are Waiheke Island and Great Barrier Island. I am now staying in Waiheke island and it is in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand 17.7 km (about 35 minutes by ferry) from Auckland city. Waiheke Island is a picturesque blend of farmland, forest, beaches, vineyards and olive groves. There is a great range of activities on Waiheke. I am discovering for myself why Auckland is one of New Zealand 's best destinations.
