Loved the Goat themed wildfoods entry.

Beer from milk bottles, 80s memorabilia everywhere plus great gastro pub food what more could you ask for? How about 80s spacies games!

Meat, meat and more meat. What more could you ask for?

Definitely worth a visit at any time of the year, but they always do a good job of the Wild Food Challenge and have one of the biggest dining rooms in the central city.

Wonderful open space and an seared winning playground. Great place to tire out kids when the weather is good.

A great park and playground right on a working port and a short walk to the fish market - it doesn't get much more Auckland than this.

Wonderful bush walks, a great playground in bush surrounds and a pool to boot.

A full working farm in the middle of suburban Auckland that you can wander through and interact with the animals.

A wonderful open park with spectacular views of the harbour. The winter gardens are a great place to wander around after burning off some energy in the wide open spaces.

Wonderful walkways a great café as well as ducks to feed - what more could you ask for except a sunny day?

Wonderful bush walks, a great playground in bush surrounds and a pool to boot.

A full working farm in the middle of suburban Auckland that you can wander through and interact with the animals.

More than just butterflies, a farm, train and playground to go with the main attraction of the butterflies.

Wonderful open space and an seared winning playground. Great place to tire out kids when the weather is good.

Just like walking into a pub off Grafton Street in Dublin, almost makes you forget that you aren't in the old country.

Hidden away down off the main drag but that just adds to the atmosphere of this long standing Irish bar.

I first visited this place when it was called Murphy's (showing my age), but it has lost none of its atmosphere over the years and is always lively place to while away some hours.

The smell of the sea and the proximity to the harbour makes the beer taste slightly more authentic.

Another great waterside Irish bar with good music and beer, what a great match :)

Yes is it a DIY warehouse but it also houses a great little café that is pretty close to its claim of having the best coffee in Takanini.

A nice little play area and a really good kid's menu make it a good quick lunch or brunch option.

Good pizza from a big chain.

Surprisingly the kids that we were in loved the Bollywood movies on the screens and who doesn't love a good curry.

My little girl loves the chicken and carrot sushi as well as the udon noodle soup that is my personal favourite.

A wonderful selection of beer in a great central location, probably the best outdoor drinking venue in central Hamilton just because you can sit on a keg.

Even though it is a bit out of the central city this is a spacious bar with good food and a good range of Speights beers, which makes it a good place to start out a night out.

Even though it is located unusually in the carpark of a supermarket it is a great little bar with good food, service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Definitely worth a visit at any time of the year, but they always do a good job of the Wild Food Challenge and have one of the biggest dining rooms in the central city.

The kiwiana theme is a not overdone here and worth dropping in just for the kumara fries.
