Manukau
Arriving in Auckland when the cricket is on meant accommodation availability was scarce, resulting in staying in the town of Mangere. Amazing little place with a stunning walk up Mt Mangere looking out over Auckland.

Mangere

Home to Auckland Airport, Māngere boasts the vibrant Māngere Arts Centre Ngā Tohu o Uenuku and convenient Māngere Town Centre for shopping. Easily accessible via train and bus services, it's well-connected to other parts of Auckland.

Baaaaaa you'll meet lots of friendly animals at this city farm ! Great for kids to experience farm life.
