Penny Lane's Bake Shop

About

Penny Lane's Bake Shop in North Island trades from 248 Onehunga Mall, Onehunga, Auckland 1061, New Zealand. The bakery sits in the Onehunga suburb of Auckland, on the isthmus between the city's two harbours. Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth all sit within reach across the North Island.

A 4.1 out of 5 average across 143 reviews places the bakery among the more reviewed spots in the area, a figure that points to steady local trade. The Onehunga Mall address puts it on a main suburban street, with the wider Auckland region spreading out from there. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country.

The Southern Alps run down the South Island, and the North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers, which shapes where visitors tend to base themselves. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.

Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. For a first-time visitor, the bakery's position in Onehunga makes it an easy stop within Auckland and a practical point on the way to the rest of the North Island.
