cynohn's question: My girlfriend and I are seeking for a romantic place in NZ that has the best view of the entire Auckland district. is there such a place in Auckland, from where we could see the mountains and bays around? (give a different answer) .

When I went in Auckland with my friends, I'd found such a place located on Mt Eden, which is the highest volcanic cone in the area.and if you two are patient enough to reach it (it's 196m high, if I remember well), you'd see all the bays and land between Manukau Harbour and Hauraki Gulf and you'd also look 50m down into the volcano's crater. Just drive to the top or take bus Nos 274 to 277 from Britomart Station to Mt Eden and then walk.
