Stroll amidst the beautiful yachts and launches in the marina; lunch at one of the many marina-side cafés and restaurants; walk to nearby beaches. Feeling more energetic? Go to the end of the peninsula taking in the golf course and spectacular gulf vistas to Rangitoto, Waiheke and other islands. Public transport will take you to other parts of the Howick / Pakuranga district – but don’t miss beautiful Half Moon Bay!
