What to do on a lazy Sunday in New Zealand

"Roger Hunter’s Garden Centre is the jewel of Mangere. Endless rows of botanical bargains and pink wheelbarrows meet you at the gate, and you’ll find Roger onsite taking your money, making you smile and giving out free gardening advice most days of the week."

"This is without competition the restaurant I frequent most in Auckland. Most Sunday's I can be found here catching up with friends or family (and on occasion recovering from a few too many drinks the night before). Big communal tables make it super social, it's consistently delicious and service is quick (as long as you're in before 12pm - if you not you risk a long wait on the weekends). On my must try list is the crispy squid, cabbage and combination seafood dumplings and the sago and taro pudding. "

"This place is always busy, but the staff are always efficient and attentive with quality results and reasonable prices. A great place to treat yourself to some downtime - pedicure in massage chair with a magazine - heaven!"
