Buffalo Bar & Grill - the essence of Auckland waterfront dining

Princes Wharf at the bottom of Albert Street in downtown Auckland is a former commercial wharf that has been redeveloped into a multi-story, high-class development.

Designed to be reminiscent of a cruise ship, Princess Wharf includes the Overseas Passenger Terminal for the berthing of cruise ships, a Hilton hotel, expensive apartments, retail and office space, and a multi-story parking building.

Auckland City

Auckland City is a bustling hub of commerce, shopping, culture and cuisine. Built on the edge of the Waitemata Harbour, the main city streets all lead down to the waterfront and the Ferry Terminal. Further up the harbour the Harbour Bridge takes commuters to and from North Shore City.

The Harbour leads out to the Hauraki Gulf with its picturesque islands, fishing, diving and water sports. Everywhere are power boats and yachts earning Auckland the nickname "City of Sails".

Auckland’s population is a diverse mix of Europeans, indigenous Maori, and recent Polynesian and Asian immigrants. This cultural mix brings has produced “Pacific Rim” cuisine, a blend of Asian and Pacific flavours that has swept though restaurants all around the world. Cultural diversity has also an abundance of unique dining. Auckland’s climate and outdoor lifestyle, excellent shopping, sporting and cultural facilities make it one of New Zealand's best destinations.
