Auckland Villas - Reviews and Rates

Not much has been going on in Auckland, but we had a big birthday extravaganza for my birthday and my friend Kelly's birthday!! Her birthday was August 20th and mine was the 27th. Our birthday week began with an 80s theme party for Kelly(her choice). Eilidh (pronounced Hailey-with out the H) and I made her a rubiks cake with sponge(what they cal...

New Zealand is an aesthetically wondrous country.  It seems around every corner is some fabulous new vista.  I especially like the Pohutakawa trees (no we can't pronounce it either) that have been exploding with red blossoms over Christmas.  We gave up thinking we could see the whole country and have just stuck to exploring the areas we have sta...

Just to let you all know we are in Auckland at the moment stopping at the Prestwood's residence and taking things fairly easy at the moment, which gives us chance to sort out a few things including a visit to the hospital for Val's for blood tests. I will update this entry shortly with photo's etc...but just to let you know I had a few issues wi...

We left Edmonton at 4:00 PM Jan. 13 and arrived Auckland 6:00 AM Jan. 15th! You lose a day (or is it gain a day) as you cross the date line. We met Jackie and Ray Ness in the Edmonton airport. They are part of the B and B Travel troupe as well. We all went to Scona high school together. We will meet up with them again in Australia. We flew from ...

Nous arrivons maintenant à Auckland, lieu ou nous devons rendre le camping car pour partir en direction des îles Fidgi. Nous sommes assez déçus par cette ville qui, en dehors des ses rues commerçantes, nous parait énorme et assez monotone. Nous n'aurons malheureusement pas le temps d'approfondir la question car notre vol pour Nadi nous attend.

Here are a few pics from Christmas Day in Auckland, Brown's Bay. We were 5 minutes from the beach, so we decided to go for a dip to celebrate the occasion. After, it was presents, and of course Christmas dinner - ham, scallops, and baked veggies. Once again thank you to the Bucknells for having me as their guest. Merry Christmas to family and fr...

I am sitting on the beach of Mission Bay-a cute little area of Aukland. We ran into a situation last night, when we realized that the domestic flight we intended to return us to Auckland on January 19th ACTUALLY left the morning of the 18th. I had already paid for my hostel that night, so we stayed the night and arise very early this morning to ...

I was had made great pains to arrange to stay on the bus for one more day so that I could go horse trekking, so in the morning I set off with the others, and everything seemed to be going fine. We made a breakfast stop and got provisions for lunch. We stopped at Taranaki falls and made the 1.5hr (round trip) trek to the falls for lunch which was...

Accross thew pacific my phone no here +642102312691 Its so handy being back in an English speaking country again!! Pretty much went on the **** for the first three days in Auckland so no sights were seen at all, apart from the museum which had a DaVinci exhibition on(just ok). Bought myself a car, its no TypeR, but it is a babe magnet-it all goe...

I arrived back in Auckland on the Friday and I had arranged to go to Lisa's for the evening as it was her last night, we had a bottle or two of wine and a great meal and swapped our stories of our time in NZ. The next morning I dropped off at the bus station. The last few weeks have gone so quickly, but I have managed to fit in all that I have w...
