Address

About 2 km from the western end of Karangahape Road (K Road) up to the Three Lamps junction

The main drag of Auckland's most polished neighbourhood. Converted white timber villas hold concept stores, designer labels and brunch cafés along about 2 km. Daytime is coffee and browsing; by evening the wine bars and restaurants light up one after another. Ponsonby Central, an indoor food hall with lots of options, is an easy dinner stop.
