Rosedale is the kind of launch point where you can easily hop, skip and jump around the beautiful North Shore. To the north, shoppers can find just about every material desire in Albany’s two shopping centres. And if nature’s more your thing, there’s lovely Murrays Bay Beach to the west and the incredible Long Bay Regional Park only 20 minutes away.
As far as food is concerned, you won’t need to travel far. Save room for lamb-ragu gnochhi at Caffe E Cucina’s, try a famous Korean-style savoury pancake at No 1 Pancake or seize the day with soft-shell crab eggs benedict at Major Tom.
Whether it’s raining or your kids are ready for some competition, you’ll be well sorted at Game Over Auckland. Speed around the go-kart track, blitz your opponent with a laser gun or try your luck at the arcade arena at this mega funzone.
If you’re looking to explore the local area, how’s this secret walkway sound? Stroll along a stream on the 5.5km Unsworth to Rosedale Path to traverse boardwalks, wide paths and lots of native bush. If the coast is more your vibe, be sure to check out the cute bays that dot the northern stretch of the North Shore. Sunrises are stellar at Murrays Bays Beach – and Browns Bay Beach has a holiday vibe no matter the time of year.

Local tip He tīwhiri mō te rohe
While buses are available in the area, it’s easiest to explore the rest of the North Shore with a car. Beach road trip, anyone?
