A Quick Orientation of Auckland
Auckland is located 186 miles from the North Island's most northern tip and rocky hills surround the city. To the east of the waterfront area is Queen Elizabeth II Square. From here, Auckland's main road of Queen street runs south and contains the Auckland Town Hall. At the southern end of Queen street you will find Karangahape Road, known by locals as K road.
The centre of Auckland lies between K road and the waterfront district. Ponsonby is a trendy area located to the northwest of the city centre, near Herne Bay. Parnell is a stylish area of bars, cafés and restaurants located southeast of Auckland's centre.
