"Karangahape Road or K’ Road — there’s a variety of things going on. It feels quite edgy. If you walk along from there, you reach Ponsonby. I have walked every length and breadth of this area."

"My favorite café is Scarecrow, which is right in the city, perched on the top of the hill. It makes a nice coffee. It's got a casual feel and some outdoor seating, and is a good place to hang out."

Coco’s Cantina

Italian restaurant

Coco’s Cantina

"There's another place that I love called Coco’s Cantina. It’s got a real kind of civic vibe. You go there and everyone's really friendly; the food's really good. It's a mixture of Italian meets Pacific. It’s a great atmosphere: full of local people having a good time."

"My very favorite café on Waiheke is The Island Grocer, and they do this absolutely wicked, delicious pastrami and pickle sandwich on focaccia. It's the best-tasting thing you ever had."

Waiheke Island

Island
Waiheke Island, Auckland
Waiheke Island

"One of the best things about Auckland is a little island called Waiheke, which is 40 minutes from my door. The proximity, and the fact that it's not completely overdeveloped, is astonishing to me."
