## Where to go in Auckland  

Hiring a motorhome in Auckland is the perfect option to get the most out of your holiday in the North Island of New Zealand. Here are our tips for making the most out of your adventure. 

  
### Auckland and surrounding areas  

Once you have picked up your motorhome rental at Auckland Airport you are ready to start exploring the beauty of the Auckland region and beyond on your New Zealand road trip.  

There are so many wonderful sights to see in Auckland City, from natural wonders to food, music, art, and culture. Discover the rich history of Māori and Pacific Islander culture at Auckland War Memorial Museum. Sitting above Auckland's CBD surrounded by serene parkland, Auckland Museum houses extensive cultural, military and natural history exhibitions, as well as two Māori cultural performances a day. It's an immersive way for the whole family to explore New Zealand's stories.  

Spend a day exploring Auckland Zoo, just 11 minutes from the CBD, where you'll find the largest diversity of wildlife in Aotearoa. Encounter cheeky kea in the huge walk-through aviary, watch playful seals or spot tigers walking overhead in their newly constructed enclosure. 

Depart Auckland from any direction in your motorhome, and you will find majestic scenery, friendly locals and unique Māori and modern culture all over the North Island.  

Visit Coromandel for unbelievably beautiful beaches, or the Bay of Islands to spot dolphins up close and visit historic Russel. The Waikato region's glow worm caves are a must-do, as is the famous Hobbiton; the movie set where the Lord of the Rings trilogy was shot. We recommend adding Rotorua's thermal mud pools to your itinerary, and a stop in Lake Taupo to enjoy the clear waters and great fishing. 

### Shakespear Regional Park 

A dreamy introduction to New Zealand, Shakespear Regional Park is a scenic coastal farm park with incredible panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf and golden beaches along either side of a narrow peninsula. Park up and ease into the slow Kiwi lifestyle, swim, read a book on the beach, or go exploring.  

Shakespear Regional Park offers three beautiful nature walks, perfect for stretching your legs and enjoying New Zealand's native bush and peaceful farmland - the Heritage Trail, Lookout Track and the Tiri Tiri Track which gives you a fantastic view of Te Haruhi Bay.  

Shakespear Regional Park is situated just 40 minutes north of Auckland CBD.  

### Waiheke Island 

Escape to Waiheke Island for a day trip, or spend a few days relaxing in lush vineyards, olive groves and beaches.  
 

Once you've had your fill of world-class, locally-produced food and wine, it's time to hit the beach. The white sandy bays of Oneroa, Palm Beach and Onetangi are wonderful for swimming and picnicking and offer easy access for kayaking in the sparkling Hauraki Gulf.  

Keen walkers can explore Waiheke’s trail, curving along cliff tops, down to tranquil beaches and through shady native bush. Journey to the eastern end of the island where the Stony Batter walkway meanders through World War II gun emplacements and underground tunnels.  

Waiheke Island is a 45-minute ferry ride from Auckland.  

## Where to stay in your motorhome in Auckland  

Finding a place to park your motorhome in Auckland is part of the adventure. There are several caravan parks and campgrounds in and around Auckland that offer facilities for motorhomes. Some popular options include:
