I've lived here since I was two years old so I guess I have a love for it in my heart. The weather is temperate it is rarely too hot or too cold.
We basically have everything here without it being too crowded. If you're the outdoor type we have everything you can ask for and tremendous beauty to behold, goregoues beaches and forests (the bush), but if you want the city life, cafes, shopping, we have all of that too.
I used to live in the city, I live out in beautiful Waitakere City (West Auckland)
