Auckland Hostels - Reviews and Rates

So the end of NZ, Since the last bit of info, i have been to the sulphuric smelling Rotorua, where we saw a Maori traditional culture show where we saw different maori dances including the famous Haka We went to Mt Manganaui where we climbed the 232 m hill and saw good views of the coast and harbour . We then headed off to the shire, where we sa...

so it has ben two days in my new little utpoia auckland. yesterday i had to wait around until it was light and i could safely wander the city. i set off at 8am hoping to meet excitement and adventure but on the first street corner an old homeless man came up and followed me and tried to stop me walking past him so i quite quickly got a bagel and...

I'm so bad with logging entries on road, who really has time for that anyway? anyway here is 6 weeks, Auckland to Milford sound. If at first you don't see it all, why not go again? Kiwi Escapades, Round 2. This past October I went to New Zealand for a 5 week adventure. I went with two friends I have worked with at the Creekside Restaurant; Jason...

Anyone caring to go to Australia, I highly recommend it. I've subdued the locals, drank all their beer and renamed their streets. Its safe there now, just don't mention me by name. You don't want a stranger to wet themselves, its embarrasing and gross, especially if your hand is in their pants. Also on my list of gross things is the spider that...

hi everyone! i just made the trek from wellington back to auckland, which took about 11 hours by bus. yuck. i had a great time in wellington, it is really a beautiful city with a lot of historic buildings, mostly art deco, which is pretty cool. i spent most of my day at the te papa museum, which is gigantic. it has about 6 floors of exhibits all...

Alright so I had a few more nights in Wellington and booked my overnight bus to go to Auckland. A few more jumps into the harbour, a trip to the Botanical Gardens after midnight. It was all fairly low-key for us. It was sad to leave the only people I could consider friends from this trip. I took the bus up to Auckland and didn't like it too much...

Back to civilisation. Our first impressions of New Zealand is how easy it all is. After 8 months chicken/pig buses, mosquitoes, crazy border crossings, screaming touts and speaking Spanglish (Spanish with English thrown in), we are finding it all too easy in the land of New Zealand. It's a totally different experience to the South/Central Americ...

Today was the last real day of our holiday. We dragged our aching bodies out of bed and had a quick breakfast at Jane's before jumping back into the car for the final leg of our trip. It was only a couple of hours drive back north to Auckland. We briefly went into the city and had a wander around a few of the shops to get some Christmas presents...

Had a dreadful last night in Whangarei as we got back from the cinema (saw Narnia!) to find that our tent was leaking so all of our clothes were slightly damp! Not good and we were very stressed, luckily Simona is practically minded and temporarily solved the issue. Anyway, the following day we headed back to Auckland, bought a new tent and met ...

I flew up to Auckland on Thursday to say farewell to Claire. I was hoping it was going to be a better weekend than my first in Auckland. It wasn't too good a start when we ended up staying back at Base. For whatever reason I suggested to Claire that we stay there, even after the horrific experience I'd had there. I thought that as it was new whe...
