Overall

We, a family of 5, were there in January 2005 and did not enjoy our stay. In fact, we left the very next morning and wound up at Lake Taupo, which was definately more family oriented. If you are expecting an international city like Sydney, forget it. The streets are littered, dirty, and many of the downtown building are vacant or are seedy peep shows and all night bars. Not family oriented, no good city transportation, and nothing interesting to see. All of New Zealand is expensive, but your dollars are better served outside this city.
