Look out over Auckland from the top of Mount Eden, and you’ll see the Tasman Sea to the south and the Pacific to the north. Built over a narrow neck of land between oceans, Auckland is perfect for adventure lovers. Abseil from the Sky Tower; plunge down waterfalls in the Coromandel rainforests, or go whale-watching between the islands of the Hauraki Gulf.

”I often use the books available at the club (they have a lot), especially those about the IELTS exam. A thing that I find really great is that we can borrow books and also DVDs so I've borrowed a lot of movies I haven't seen.”
