Devonport: A magical village with historic charm

One of the reasons the sun chooses the beginning of its journey from New Zealand may be due to the beauty this country holds. The magical scenery, the serenity and peacefulness of a country way down on the globe far from the business of the rest of the world where nature still holds the power to rule and people still have time to revel in its beauty is the picturesque country of New Zealand. Well known yet least spoken of is this country with cultural attractions that keep a steady flow of tourism in just the right mix.

Devonport is a maritime village tucked into Auckland’s northern shores and is combined with utter mystic and magic. Right by the sea with a heritage that is totally unique with breathtaking views are what best describes this town. Devonport has a variety of cafés; restaurants, bars and boutiques that often make this place an ideal holiday destination. A tour of the village tells the story of its history and its view of life while causing a yearning to enjoy nature and creation at its peak.

The many museums and galleries such as the newly opened Jackson Museum, the Navy Museum and Historical Museum are some of the places of interest that will tell their stories of days gone by. The North Head which is almost off a picture post card in beauty is an attraction that is hard to resist. The WWII caves, the Cheltanham Beach, an eighteen hole golf course and skate park are some of what Devonport offers visiting families and kids.

Not too far away from the mystiques of Devonport is one of the finest of Auckland hotels. An experience of enchanting hospitality and classical charm intertwined with the timeless elegance that only a hotel such as The Langham Auckland provides. The distinguished style and luxury indulgence that comes from this Auckland hotel is one that provides just the right combination for a memory of a lifetime.
