If you're in central Auckland, I spent a lot of time learning to ride in the upper deck carpark at St. Lukes shopping centre.
Go there after 6pm on any day excluding Thursday and Friday (late night shopping) and it's an awesome place to practise emergency braking and low-speed control.
The best part to do it in is that section of carpark to the right by Cornwallis Street, it's large and open and well-lit. The tall lamp posts are also good markers to do figure-eights and turns around for learners getting used to leaning the bike.
