In Auckland we have Kumeu Observatory, it's exactly 30 minutes from home , however it is close to the edge of Auckland.
It is conveinient but not strickly dark sky, the lightdome is up as high as 30 degrees in the SE. Safe etc but no toilet.
We can get very good skies at the Maramarua Forest, an hours drive south. It's a rural road. No facilities. However none of us have been there for 3 years. We tend to trade off the skies for a bit less travel time and security etc.
