Albany & Long Bay
Bring your wallet and go on a shopping spree at Albany’s expansive mall, with a huge range of stores from home décor and electronics to clothing, footwear and toys. Refuel at one of the cafés and restaurants lining the courtyard outside, or catch a flick at the cinema complex.If the timing’s right, visit North Harbour Stadium and catch a game of rugby, rugby league or soccer. The arena is home to North Harbour rugby and hosts the occasional Vodafone Warriors match too.
Long Bay Regional Park, a 10-minute drive from Albany, and only 20km from the city, offers a sheltered beach on one side and parkland on the other – pop in for a swim and a stroll or bring the family and a picnic and get settled in.
Takapuna & Milford
The unofficial ‘capital’ of Auckland’s North Shore. Shop for fashion, books, footwear and beauty products along Takapuna’s Hurstmere Road, and if you’re there on a Sunday, visit the lively market for fresh fruit and vegetables, crafts, furniture and antiques. Choose from a huge range of cafés and restaurants by day and night, and in summer, enjoy fresh fish and chips at the family-friendly white-sand beach.
The quieter next-door neighbour to Takapuna is Milford - a relaxed beachside suburb incorporating the beautiful Lake Pupuke. The lake is a volcanic crater and a favourite spot for rowing, sailing and canoeing. Milford has many recreation reserves – Kitchener Park, Sylvan Park, Byrnes Reserve, and a boat marina. Meander down the main street, complete with many casual café’s, boutique stores and an independent upmarket mall. And to stretch your legs, go on the Milford to Takapuna walk along the water’s edge.
