The area is a treasure trove for art lovers. Don’t miss the Auckland Art Gallery, the John Leech Gallery and the Oedipus Rex Gallery.
If the weather is good get outdoors and appreciate the nearby green spaces. Walk along the coastline nearby such as Cheltenham Beach. Enjoy the nearby wilderness by heading to Mount Victoria and North Head.
To really get a feel for the area, don’t miss the nearby local attractions such as Wintergarden, the Holy Trinity Cathedral and the University Clock Tower.
