Whale and Calf

About

The venue sits on the Auckland waterfront, where the marina berths meet the city centre.

Auckland is the main gateway for visitors heading to the artwork, and the city sits within reach of Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth. New Zealand's islands have a temperate climate, and summer from December to February draws the most visitors, while winter stays mild at low altitudes. Food around the islands is built on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, so meals near the waterfront lean on what the country produces. Domestic flights and ferries link the islands, and English and Māori are the main languages, which makes moving around straightforward for most travellers.
