The Maori history of Auckland is fascinating. It is known to the Maori people as Tamaki-makau-rau the maiden with 100 lovers. It earned its name because it was a place desired by all and conquered by many. Greater Auckland rests on three harbours, the Waitemata and Kaipara to the north and the Manukau to the south. The outer surround of water is called the Hauraki Gulf. Islands as far out as Great Barrier and as close as Rangitoto dot the Hauraki Gulf region.
The greater Auckland area takes in Wellsford and Kawau Island in the north through to Mercer, south of the Bombay Hills. Aucklanders enjoy a warm, temperate climate and an outdoor lifestyle. One of the best ways to get out and about is to escape to one of the many islands of the Hauraki Gulf and experience the beautiful scenery. Within 30 minutes of downtown Auckland by ferry, visitors can escape to an island experience. The Hauraki Gulf experience is complemented by a modern evolving city with restaurants and bars, theatre, art and fashion, a host of luxury accommodation and a vibrant waterfront.
With an infusion of new restaurants and bars, Auckland is a leader in Pacific Rim cuisine, a style combining fresh seafood and meats with flavours borrowed from Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia. Auckland is known as the "City of Sails" and is reputed to have more boats per head of population than anywhere else in the world. Auckland is New Zealand's largest international airport and is the gateway to many touring routes including the Twin Coast Discovery Highway.
