Manukau

五彩缤纷,忙碌而明亮, Manukau is where you'll find the world's largest Polynesian urban community. Sitting to the east of Manukau Harbour (and it's resident stingrays...), this is where you can come and enjoy the country's largest street market, 在Otara, which springs to life every Saturday with stalls selling everything from fresh fruit and veg, 手工制作服装, 珠宝及礼品. 

You'll also find Westfield Manukau City nearby, too (one of the country's oldest malls), so even the more standard shopaholics will be satisfied. 马努考也是 彩虹的尽头 主题公园, 新西兰最大的, which promises an adrenalin-packed day of rollercoasters, 的游乐场, 圆木水槽, 运动模拟器, and some more sedate family favourites like dodgems, 旋转木马和拱廊.

For the perfect come-down, explore the beautiful grounds of 奥克兰植物园 在马努雷瓦. With more than 10,000 plants, and plenty of green spaces, it's the ideal spot for a lunchtime picnic.
