Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and main transport hub. The diverse landscape provides countless opportunities to get immersed in nature. In the west, lush native rainforest plunges down the hills to meet the sea on dramatic black sand beaches, while the east's sheltered golden sand beaches are fringed with red-flowering pohutukawa trees. To the north the rolling hills of wine country meet stunning coastlines and in the south you'll find picturesque country gardens, unspoilt forest and tranquil bays to explore.

Our campus is located in an attractive area of parks and reserves. The college is surrounded by museums, the Auckland Zoological Park, Western Springs Lakeside Park and roadside gardens.
