Mount Eden

The suburb of Mt Eden is an older area of Auckland. With its volcanic, albeit dormant, cone. With its many and varied Real Estate. Arty, ecclectic styles can be found here with many villas alongside the modern apartment. Also home to a piece of Auckland history in the oldest correctional facility in Auckland. So a stroll from Upper Symonds Street in the CBD you will find yourself in Mt Eden, so take a stroll and check out the small suburb of Mt Eden. Stay for a coffee at one of the many cafes and check out some local artists works. Or take a walk up the Mount to view Auckland City from a different view.

Website Tips

Ok So here's a few tips on websites for some of you who seem to be asking:

- Google is a Wonderful search Engine for searching anything in an advert on a website that you either have never heard of or are not sure of.
- If searching for a particular thing be sure and read smaller print under the main headings. This is sure to aid you in your search.
- Also if a website has a "Search by Name or by Word" box this is here to help aid searches also.
- Also if contacting by phone anyone from a website, always say first off this is where you saw their advertising.
- And as advertising gets updated from time to time it is always good to revisit and see if anything new has been added or changed.
