A must-see if you can get in past the very tight security is the invite-only Gucci VIP Lounge. In fact, it’s so high security that we couldn’t get in at first due to a visit by John Key. Perhaps they mistook our "killer heels" as too dangerous?!
Gucci VIP Lounge at Stella Artois Auckland Cup day
Ellerslie, Auckland
Wednesday 10 March 2010
On a stunningly beautiful Auckland day we were very pleased to find ourselves at Ellerslie for Stella Artois Auckland Cup day.
A must-see – if you can get in past the very tight security – is the sought after and invite-only Gucci VIP Lounge.
In fact, it’s so high security that we couldn’t get in at first due to a visit by John Key. Perhaps they mistook our "killer heels" as too dangerous?!
We all know how good Italians are at balcony scenes- just look at Juliet and her Romeo – so it was a foregone conclusion that the balcony at the Gucci Lounge was the place to cheer in your winning horse.
Below: For some, it’s a great place for champagne, others; to gossip, and others; to watch the horses.
