Major Landmarks of New Zealand:
1.
Parnell Rose Gardens: In the
heart of Dove-Myer Robinson Park, the Parnell Rose Gardens boasts over 4,000
roses and sits near the Nancy Steen Garden, which features a white rose garden
of its own. The free Parnell Festival of Roses is held each and every November,
including tours, entertainment, and music.
2.
Rotorua: One of the most prominent
features in this city is The Bath House, one of the most incredible spas in all
of the South Pacific. The natural hot springs draw visitors from all over, with
their therapeutic properties.
3.
One Tree Hill: One Tree Hill ranks amongst
the tallest volcanic peaks in the city of Auckland. The hill recognized as a memorial ground by the Maori settlers.
The hill used to feature a single totara tree.
In the late 1800′s the tree was replaced by a pine tree, but towards the end of
the 20th century the tree was attacked and destroyed – not once, but twice.
The park still features a number of hiking
trails and incredible summits for viewing the land below.
4.
City Center: New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland, is located on the Northern
Island. Within the city you’ll find a number of attractions, such as the
Auckland Zoo and the Auckland Regional Botanical Gardens.
5.
Rangitoto Island:
Abandoned after the Depression, leaving only a
glimpse of what life was like in the early 1900′s, Rangitoto Island is the
largest and most youthful of volcanoes in its area. Today the island features plenty of hiking and walking trails,
hundreds of unique plant varieties, and an incredible dense phoutukawa forest.
6.
Mount Eden: Also referred to as
Maungawhau, Mount Eden is Auckland’s highest volcano. The mountain slopes
features a wide variety of trails for both hikers and walkers. Views of the
city beneath can be found at the summit.
7.
Auckland Harbor Bridge:
Completed in 1959 and spanning over 1,000 meters over St. Mary’s Bay, Auckland
Harbor Bridge is popular with tourists because
of the illuminated views of the city at night. It is also popular with avid
climbers and those who enjoy bungee jumping excursions.

Building, is a 10 foot building designed by a Scottish architect shaped like an

Goat Island Marine Reserve: Found
between Okakari Point and Cape Rodney, Goat Island is an incredible place to relax
on the beach or explore marine wildlife. The island offers diving lessons and

because of strong currents that develop quickly when bad weather approaches.

crater known as Pukekawa, Auckland Domain spans over 75 hectacres. It is also
