Welcome to Discover Auckland, where we showcase the best (and other!) of Auckland’s amazing attractions, cafes and restaurants.
We’re Craig and Linda, and Auckland is home – although we spent a lot of the last 15 years away, writing and recording for the award-winning Indie Travel Podcast.
With all this lockdown action, we put our international travel on hold, and focused on enjoying Auckland instead. And we’ve had such a good time!
We hope to bring the same honest, enjoyable and useful travel writing and reviews to Auckland. We hope to cover everywhere in Auckland, given enough time, and will be updating regularly.
