Further information on the Maori can be discovered at Auckland War Memorial Museum. Even if your main plan is to explore more of New Zealand, a one or two-day stay in Auckland is recommended to shake off jet lag. Auckland small business owners generally are friendly and appreciative of visitors. Some good-to-knows when in Auckland are that roads can be windy, road signs / speed limits are displayed using the metric system, prices for items are as-is (no additional tax at check-out) and tipping is not customary in restaurants, though of course is appreciated. New Zealand became one of the first countries to decriminalize prostitution circa 2003. In Auckland, cars travel on the left-hand side, currency is New Zealand Dollar and the drinking age is 18 years old. Auckland accommodations are some of Oceania’s best. Before we get to Auckland accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

The name “Auckland” may have come from the Cumbric (extinct Celtic language) word “Alclud”. Auckland’s isthmus was settled sometime around 1350 AD by the Māori, who built pā, or fortified villages, on volcanic peaks. A confederation of Māori tribes, the Te Waiohua had assembled by the early-1700s. In 1741, however, the confederation disbanded following paramount chief Kiwi Tāmaki’s slaying in battle by chief Waha-akiaki of the Ngāti Whātua hapū Te Taoū tribe. Thereafter, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei became the isthmus’ main tribe. Prior to European arrival, the Māori population reached around 20,000. Firearms having been introduced exclusively to northern tribes in the early-1800s by Sydney-based merchants and traders, tribal warfare eventually ensued. Northland tribes traded timber, flax and foodstuffs for firearms. Meanwhile, southward tribes (iwi ) still possessed more primitive weaponry such as the traditional taiaha (close-quarters staff weapon). Of course, this created an imbalance of power amongst tribes. The Māori population had dwindled by the time European New Zealanders arrived. The March 20, 1840 Treaty of Waitangi between the British Crown (William Hobson) and the North Island Māori chiefs established a British Governor of New Zealand. Auckland was founded on September 18, 1840, and a year later was officially declared New Zealand’s capital. Auckland lost its status as capital, however, in 1865 to Port Nicholson (Wellington) due to Port Nicholson’s proximity to South Island (New Zealand’s largest island). Māori rangatira (chief) Hōne Heke started a rebellion against the British in the mid-1840s. The 1845-46 Flagstaff War in Northland between the British Empire and Māori proved relatively inconclusive. Subsequently, however, the New Zealand Wars (1845-1872 ) throughout the country between Britain and Māori enabled the 1863 New Zealand Settlements Act and led to a Crown victory. Rapid expansion ensued circa the early-20th century. Prior to World War II, trams and railway lines were introduced in Auckland. Afterward came motor vehicles. Many companies relocated from Wellington to Auckland in the mid-1980s due to New Zealand’s economic deregulation, or “Rogernomics”, which impacted Auckland in particular. Around this time, 75 percent of New Zealand’s international visitors came through Auckland Airport, which naturally boosted the city’s tourism industry. By 2015, Auckland was handling 31 percent of New Zealand’s container trade through the city’s port.

New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland is home to around 1.6 million “Aucklanders”. City of Sails is surrounded by rainforest and 53 volcanic centers known as the Auckland Field. Outliers are the Hauraki Gulf (eastward), the Hunua Ranges (southeastward), Manukau Harbour (southwestward) and the Waitākere Ranges (west / northwestward). The city’s narrow stretch of land between Manukau Harbour (Tasman Sea-side) and Waitematā Harbour (Pacific Ocean-side) is known as the Auckland isthmus. The world’s largest number of Polynesians live in City of Sails. In 2019, Auckland received nearly 2.75 million international visitors. Home to an oceanic climate, Auckland experiences warm summers and mild winters. Summer high temperatures (February) average around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, while July winters stay around 59 degrees. Sea temperature ranges between 70 °F in summer to 57 °F in winter. Snowfall is rare though not impossible. Additional points of interest include Auckland CBD, Town Hall (concert hall), St Matthew-in-the-City and Westhaven Marina (southern hemisphere’s largest yacht marina). A traditional Maori cooking method, hāngi uses heated rocks in a pit-oven (umu). Local foods include fish and chips, whitebait (herring), meat pie (minced steak / beef, gravy, cheese), rewena (traditional Maori sourdough bread), lolly cake (“lolly log” – no-bake sweet dish, cookie dough-texture), pavola (meringue-based dessert) and hokey pokey (ice cream – vanilla with honeycomb toffee). Popular drinks are beer (lager, craft beer), wine and Lemon & Paeroa (lemon-flavored soft drink). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Auckland accommodations that will help make for a memorable experience.
