Shopping
The best mall in New Zealand, home to the first H&M and Zara stores. The mall is a minute drive from where we stay, and has an excellent range of food and drink options as well as cinemas. Worth the visit. You need to get in early on the weekends else you fight for a carparl. Alternatively you can park your car at Panmure and catch the train there to save the crowds.
