THE LOCATION
Where the City Meets the Sea
Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand and its economic centre. Bounded by the Manukau and Waitemata harbours, the city is defined by its proximity to the sea. In the same way, it is this deep link with the ocean that gave Seascape its name.
Beautiful beaches stretch around the Auckland coastline and look out to the islands of the Hauraki Gulf. The city has many parks and reserves, often sited around the fifty volcanic cones that form its rolling skyline.
Auckland has a rich and diverse culture, and warm, friendly people. It features a vibrant CBD that climbs up from the stunning Viaduct Harbour to the top of the Sky Tower - with world-class dining, shopping and entertainment at every turn.
Regularly rated as one of the most liveable cities in the world, Auckland strikes the perfect balance of big city amenity and stunning natural landscape making it a truly special corner of the world.
