Overall
As a family of 5 we arrived in Auckland with high expectations of a fantastic first impression of New Zealand. How disappointed we were...at times we felt we were back in Singapore given the overwhelming South Asian influence, the difference being most of the city centre was dirty and run down. Luckily we stayed in the lovely Viaduct Harbour area which has been redeveloped following the Americas Cup success. Christchurch is a far better bet...we fell in love with it. To sum Auckland up in the words of a fellow New Zealander on the beautiful Coromandel,"Any Aucklanders here? Welcome to New Zealand!"
