Ponsonby & Herne Bay

The inner city suburbs of Ponsonby and Herne Bay, to the west of the CBD, are the focal point of Auckland’s nightlife and café culture.  Wander the 3km along Ponsonby and Jervois Rds and you’ll find an endless variety of eateries and bars jostling alongside each other, their doors open and conversation buzzing no matter what the time of day.  Some of these iconic hotspotz have been around for twenty years or more, consistently serving up a fine array of dishes to locals and visitors.  Alongside, a sprinkling of Auckland’s trendiest boutiques offer an alternative shopping experience to the ubiquitous malls, and tucked away in the streets behind these well-established domains, stately wooden villas stand as a reminder of by-gone days.  Weekends are particularly lively here, as locals crowd the cafes to enjoy breakfast or a latte at their favourite haunt, or a glass of wine and the company of friends in the evening sunshine.
