Four nights in Auckland in July

I went to the War Memorial the other day and was also surprised at the $25 charge. That said, I decided to go in and was very glad I did. While it is a poor shadow of our own AWM here in Canberra, the other exhibits, including the best wildlife photography that is running at the moment (which is absolutely superb) made it worthwhile.

Tourism wise, I think AKL is more expensive than SYD these days.

I discovered that one of Auckland's more infamous residents lives right next door to the Hilton.

Some pics from inside the museum (though a bit limited what you can take pics of - wildlife photography the obvious exclusion).

Thank you all for your input. We have 2 days in AKL before sailing back to SYD Jan 2018.
Have decided to keep car an extra day to enable trip to west coast (boat does not sail until 10pm, so have the day free) We are booked into the 3 bed apartment at Adina Britomart, hopefully easy to then join the cruise.
