Where exactly is it?

Auckland's antipode sits at 36.85°N, 5.24°W, in the northern hemisphere, west of Greenwich. That places it in or near the Atlantic Ocean.

It lies roughly 20,015 km from Auckland — about as far apart as two points on Earth can possibly be. And the relationship is symmetric: the antipode of that spot is, of course, right back here in Auckland.

What's actually there?

Auckland's antipode is a rare one: it actually lands on solid ground, about 1 km from Ronda la Vieja, a spot in Spain. Most cities don't get that lucky — antipodal land pairs are uncommon since water covers about 71% of the globe.
