Auckland was pretty cool when I was there almost two decades ago, but it's very spread out -- a hard place to see on foot.

Brisbane has a great food and walking scene. If you can find the time, go down to Byron Bay. It is Australia's Santa Cruz. You can skip the Gold Coast unless you love Florida's miles and miles of beach-front retirement condos.
Auckland is cool too. It is spreadout, but there is a circle loop bus that goes everywhere you want to go and works for sightseeing too. Depending upon your weather, a good day trip is wine tasting on the island just off the city.
Sydney is Sydney.
