The Hobbiton Movie Set Day Tour - From Auckland
We were prompted by Brett to return – this is his suggestion “A great one to commute to by ferry, go for a walk & check out the cafes, restaurants & bar at Half Moon Bay Marina, even a supermarket at the marina. Best kept secret, free push bikes available from Grangers Taphouse & Kitchen!” Thanks for the tip, Brett!
Check the ferry timetable on the AT website: Half Moon Bay ferry service it leaves from downtown Auckland Ferry Terminal.
