Auckland has so many stylish eateries serving up delicious food - I'm lucky enough to try them out when I go home to visit family twice a year. 

Piha

A wild and rugged beach on the west coast of Auckland, Piha is a must-do, partly for the stunning drive out there on winding roads through the bush. 

When there, enjoy a long walk along the beach, hike through the bush while taking in stunning views over the famous Lion Rock, and finish off with a delicious meal at the rustic and cool Piha Cafe

Takapuna

A delightful township on the north shore of Auckland, Takapuna boasts a great shopping/cafe precinct and a wonderful long beach. We had an beautiful lunch at the sunny Honey Cafe
