There are 3 restaurants or have coffee at one of the cafes. There is also a takeaway fish and chip shop and a very well stocked Four Square.
A fantastic way to see what Auckland has to offer without staying right in the city. The Ferry is on time and not too expensive, a much nicer way to commute into the city or catch connecting ferries to the other islands. Highly reccommend this friendly area.
