Remuera is one of Auckland’s most prestigious neighborhoods. It is also one of Auckland’s hilliest, so today’s walk was one of ups and downs. We lived in Remuera back in the eighties. It was a one bedroom place that has since been torn down. It looked nothing like the grand old and new homes you are about to see but was good value at $26 a week. At $13 each that would get you a couple of lattes or a fancy cocktail today.
We are always impressed when a house and accompanying car match.
Also impressive was this huge and immaculately kept hedge.
We also loved this tropical plant with its fragrant yellow flowers. If anyone knows what it is, please let us know.
However, Remuera is not all big fancy homes. Dotted throughout the neighborhood, some of the original and modest state houses with their trademark orange tiled roofs have survived.
