With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Thames, 30 miles away, has to offer. The Treasury should be at the top of your list here. Goldmine Experience and Goldfields Shopping Centre are terrific attractions too. Don’t skip Auckland either! Just 30 miles away, Auckland Ferry Terminal, Princes Wharf and Viaduct Harbour are must-sees here.
