Location
Parnell was proclaimed New Zealand's first suburb in 1841. Not surprisingly the area is filled with buildings of historical and architectural interest even though their original use may have changed from that of milliner to bar or haberdashery to restaurant, and churches may have been moved from one side of the road to another...
To stroll through Parnell is to indulge your senses as well as transport you back in time. Parnell today is abuzz with an amazing selection of 55 restaurants cafes and bars – traditional, quirky or hip. From some of the best fish and chips you will ever taste to gourmet burgers to gastronomic delights – it is all here, as is New Zealand's highest concentration of Art Galleries side by side with the best fashion designers, and fine New Zealand and imported products and speciality shops.
Fabulous location, great spot to “land” – very
