Welcome to Ranking Auckland Blog!

This blog is all about finding the very best of our city, whether that be outdoor or indoor, big or small, or even right on the edge of Auckland! Everything is based solely on my personal opinions, and in articles inspired by other sources, these have not influenced my opinion in any way, they have simply just gave me the idea to rank whatever it is. Keeping that in mind, don't let my opinions influence or make you feel bad about your own, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and feel free to speak about yours in the comment sections! If you've ever wondered about the best (and worst) in our city, you're in the right place!

Ranking Auckland Malls - Part 3 (Central & Overall Rankings)

Welcome to the third and final part of this series, where I am trying to find the best mall in Auckland! This part features all malls on the Auckland Central Isthmus (east of New Lynn), meaning there are 10 malls featured in this part. For Part 1 (North & West) click here , and for Part 2 (South & East) click here . As well as ranking the 10 malls in Central Auckland, there will also be an overall ranking of all malls in Auckland at the end, to see which truly is the best. To quickly recap, for the purpose of this series, a mall is any enclosed, commercial building or complex with multiple stores and food outlets, a shared parking area, and an anchor tenant. Using this definition means it is fair to compare all malls on the four categories of, Transport, Variety, Atmosphere, and Facilities. For each category a mall is given a score out of 5, which contributes towards its overall score out of 20. Please note that some malls may rank higher than others with higher scores out...

Ranking Auckland Malls - Part 2 (South & East)

Welcome to part two in this series, where I am on a quest to find the best mall in Auckland! This part will cover all malls in South Auckland (south of the Isthmus), and East Auckland (east of the Tamaki River). Malls in North and West Auckland were covered in Part 1 ( link here ), and Part 3 will feature all malls in Central Auckland and an overall ranking of all malls in Auckland. As discussed in Part 1, for the purpose of these rankings, a mall is any enclosed, commercial building or complex with multiple stores and food outlets, a shared parking area, and an anchor tenant. This definition is a modified version of the definition found in a quick Google search, as it is hard to define "large" in a smaller country such as New Zealand, especially when compared to malls overseas. Under this definition (and an exception), there are 9 malls in South & East Auckland. Each mall is ranked out of 5 on transport (ease of access without a car), variety (how much does it have to o...

Ranking Auckland Malls - Part 1 (North & West)

Welcome to the first part in this series, where I rank all the malls in Auckland! This part will cover all malls in North Auckland (north of the Harbour Bridge), and Western Auckland (west of, and including New Lynn). Part 2 will cover South and East Auckland, with Part 3 covering the Isthmus, as well as an overall ranking of what is truly the best mall in Auckland. To start this series off, we need to define what really counts as a mall. According to a quick google search, a mall is defined as "a large, often enclosed, commercial building or complex containing various stores, restaurants, and businesses, typically with a shared parking area" . While this is a perfectly adequate definition, there are a few things that could do with more detail. First of all, what really counts as large? While us Aucklanders will refer to Sylvia Park as a large mall (largest in the country even), its approximately 120,00 square meters of retail space pales in comparison to the largest mall in...
