Dress Smart
Dress Smart is another outlet shopping mall you shouldn’t miss if visiting Auckland. There are over 100+ brands and is a popular shopping place with the locals. This is another destination for cheap shopping in Auckland.
About 20 minutes from Auckland city and not too far from Manawa Bay, my recommendation is to visit both if you are in the area.
I got quite a few bargains from both shopping malls and was so glad I visited.
