This building is the departure point for the many ferries that cross Auckland’s bay every day. These ferries connect the CBD—where you are right now—to the northern and western parts of the city. You can also go to the Hauraki Gulf islands aboard these ferries, which I highly recommend if you have time. The building is also remarkable for its Edwardian Baroque architecture, taking us back to 1912, the year of its construction. It was renovated in the 1980s to serve a completely different purpose... It is now a shopping center. On your left stands a newer building constructed in 1982, featuring modern docks where today's ferries board passengers.
