Must Do

Throw caution to the air for a leap off the 328-metre high Sky Tower in an adrenalin-fuelled sky jump - just opposite the hotel. Equally knuckle-biting is the windswept skywalk around the concrete and steel structure's pergola, offering giddying views.

Don't Go Home Without

Travelling to Waiheke Island is only 35 minutes away by ferry. The Ferry Terminal is a short walk from Crowne Plaza Auckland. Tour boutique wineries, pick up handmade crafts from Ostend's colourful Saturday market, take a swim in stunning beaches. Find a coastal walk. The public bus service is great and very convenient. Or rent an ebike on the island.
