Garie Beach

The Gulf Harbour, North of Auckland?

I go on google earth quite often and I was looking at Auckland last night. Just North of the North Shore there is like a penisula. It has lots of new houses on it and canals. It says it is called the Gulf Harbour. Also near there is Orewa, Red Beach, Manly, Still Water and Hatfields beach. My question is, for those who have been there, what is it like? It looks really nice, from google earth anyway haha. Would you compare it to the gold coast? (without the population of course). What type of area is it? Thanks in advance :)

1. That's the Whangaparaoa peninsula. It's a nice place, with plenty of quiet beaches, fairly well off. I've never been to the Gold Coast, but from what I know, whangaparaoa is absolutely nothing like it. It's way smaller (just a little town) and there are no surf beaches or canals.
