Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We had time to kill in Auckland so we decided to drive there based on the reviews. Parking was kind of pain to find but not a big deal. We had lunch and ice cream and walked around. A lot of shops and restaurants. Not really impressive as people talking about it. Maybe at night time for drinks with the skyline at the background but it was just ok for us. If you have time to kill I would go but I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit if not a lot of time in Auckland.

    Great area to wander around, plenty of cafes and restaurants, interesting shops, parks and gardens. Close to the Auckland Domain. For ease I would catch the train or bus to the top of Parnell Rd then walk back down the steep hill to the Harbour/ City!

    Pretty cool hotel with an emphasis on sustainability. The only problem I had really was that the rooms were a little small. Seemed that there was not a lot of space to set out our luggage. The location was great and everyone at the hotel was very helpful. I would stay there again

    This is worth a wander, the area is very welcoming with cafes, shops, plazas and the seafront. Most of is seems relatively recently developed and it's clearly been done with good thought and planning

    The Americas cup village is great
    Many great cafes and restaurants
    Great Place to watch the Americas cup on the big screen
    Or even better get on one of the spectator boats and head out for the course for a great day on the water
    excellent vibe happening

    This is a lovely place to wander around and feel the atmosphere of the city, with views looking back into the central area of Auckland. If only the weather had been a bit better...

    Our tour guide brought us to Grey Lynn to show us an up & coming neighborhood that has plenty of shopping, restaurants, & bars as well as the small homes & cottages being preserved instead of being demolished.

    Takutai Square is in the Britomart area of the city, it is a unique urban space which is used for many events including open air cinema screenings and music events. When we visited the square it was busy as it was Waitangi Day so there were many people enjoying the sunny spells and relaxing in the square.
