Eden Park, home of the Auckland Blues rugby team, is also walking distance. There's heaps of things to do close by. You can take a stroll up Mt Eden and experience some of the magnificent views of the city, harbours and their thousands of sails or chill out in the many cafes, restaurants and bars.
Or if you are feeling energetic we have a tennis courts across the road, lots of walks and cycling tracks and a heated swimming pool 5 minutes walk away. A short bus ride will take you to downtown Auckland. If you have a car the choices are endless. Whatever you want to do Mt Eden has a whole heap to keep you happy.
