Ecco

About

Ecco, on North Island, sits on Broadway in Newmarket, Auckland, 1052, New Zealand, a shopping street in one of the city's established retail suburbs.

First-time visitors should expect a compact shoe shop with stock on display and staff ready to help with sizing, rather than a large department store floor. Sixteen reviews give it an average of 3.6 out of 5. Newmarket lies a short distance from central Auckland, and the rest of the North Island, including Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth, is reached by road, rail or domestic flight. It is a shoe shop, and its range covers footwear for everyday wear.

Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and Māori culture remains central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840.

Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of the local food culture, and either makes a good stop after a morning of shopping. Native birds such as tūī and kererū are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
