of Devonport Chocolates tells Channel her five favourites things about living and working on the Shore.
1. Cheltenham Beach - my favourite place to walk and swim, an amazing beach. There are always interesting water activities happening and there is something magical about watching a cruise ship appear around North Head. It seems so close you feel you could touch it.
2. Devonport Ferry - it is a lovely way to visit the city and return. I don’t commute by ferry every day, but I do visit our store in Queens Arcade quite regularly by ferry.
3. I am fortunate to have about fifteen cafes and restaurants within a kilometre circle from my home. We reach our gate, decide which direction the wind is coming from and then head off. My favourite for coffee and croissant is Chareaubriant on Vauxhall Rd.
4. Navy Museum. The new Navy museum at Torpedo Bay. Interesting displays for adults and children, not only is it free but it has one of the best views in Auckland.
5. The suburb of Devonport itself – I remind myself not to take it for granted. I am privileged to live and work in such a beautiful environment and friendly community. I wasn’t surprised to discover that Trip Advisor members have scored visiting Devonport as number one on their list of things to do in Central Auckland.
