a sailing buff you'll find a kindred spirit in Keith, who runs this cosy homestay with his
wife Trish. The lounge and terrace have views over the harbour, and the beach is close.
Eating
Because of its size and ethnic diversity, Auckland tops the country when it comes to din-
ing options and quality. Lively eateries have sprung up to cater to the many Asian stu-
dents, and offer inexpensive Japanese, Chinese and Korean staples. If you're on a budget,
you'll fall in love with the city's food halls.
