I finally had the chance to visit the newly opened Westfield mall in Newmarket to check out the first ever rooftop dining in Auckland and it did not disappoint! All of the restos were already open and there was even a DJ playing dance music. Apparently those two DJs were Fordo & Flynny. No wonder I felt like dancing to the selection of groovy tunes! The atmosphere was lively and the weather was lovely, blue clear skies and all.
I particularly liked the design of the pool of water located at the rooftop. It had a glass bottom and this was the ceiling of the floor below it. It created a very interesting texture on the walls and lighting inside the shopping area. I took a video! 😀

For those planning their Christmas dinners and parties here is a list of the restaurants and some photos. Most of them have ample space to accommodate big groups. I will probably post something when I eat in one of those places. Click on the resto name to visit their website.

There’s a small play area at the centre, but I think this could get crowded on the weekends. The rooftop top dining area is open until 10PM Thursdays- Sundays while the mall is open until 9PM Thursdays-Sundays. Checkout the rest of the schedule here.
There will be live music entertainment and DJ sets until next weekend. Some stores and restaurants also offer discounts and freebies to celebrate the recent opening. Something new to do for the family!
