Auckland is the dream destination for many travelers. Known in the Maori language as "Tamaki-Makau-Rau" "the maiden with a hundred lovers," it is a sunny blend of islands and harbors. The modern city atmosphere and Polynesian culture of Auckland has given way to a prestigious lifestyle that is ranked as one of the best in the world. In this urban environment, you are never farther away than a half hour from beautiful beaches, hiking trails and other island destinations fifty to be exact. The Heart of the City has four main precincts: waterfront, High Street fashion, arts and entertainment. Each delivers a splash of business, lifestyle and retail experiences that contributes to the city's world-class reputation.
