Motels in Auckland - Prices and Reviews

I got to Auckland airport around 5 in the evening and got a shuttle to Stamford Plaza hotel! Oh yes! A hotel! And not only that, but a 5 star hotel for my last night in NZ! I got it at half price through an internet deal before I left, I paid £35 for it! I had my own King bed, bathroom, tv and peace and quiet!! After the last few weeks of dorms ...

The ferry crossing from Picton to Wellington was thankfully much calmer than our whale watching excursion, although not quite so exciting. First stop in Wellington was Te Papa (Our Place) the Museum of New Zealand, packed with information about volcanoes, earthquakes, Maori traditions, European settlers and native flora and fauna. There was an e...

A date with the curtain men. A final walk along the beach. A stop into the Kerry Tarlton underground aquarium. A fabulous dinner with my dear friend Jo and two of her friends, Emma and Gillian. A lift to the airport from Jo, and once again, the best conversation took place at the last! Jo is campaigning for me to move to New Zealand, and given h...

I just spent the best day of this contract in Auckland today! Let me elaborate... In 2001 I worked at camp with several fun international staff members from different countries. One of those staff members was a Kiwi named Maree A. I haven't seen Maree since about 2003 when she visited the camp with her parents while spending a year in Chicago. M...

13 November: From Sydney to Auckland and Aunty Felicity and Uncle David's home in Mt Wellington where it seems it is just like England but that bit warmer so that you have your own orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the garden...ok...a lot warmer!

Qantas Airlines Rocks! Although I didn't live June 4, 2007, I still got to land in Auckland at 4:45 a.m. on June 5, 2007. We departed LA on Qantas Airlines flight #26. Our group was spread out all over the plane, but we were ready to go to sleep anyway. It had already been a really long day for us. I had asked to be moved to an aisle seat, and ...

After a very long journey, we, Bill, Pat and Sarah, have finally arrived at 6:45am local time, somewhat rested, in Auckland, New Zealand. Despite the jet lag, the trip was overall very smooth, with Greg all ready and waiting to greet us at the airport terminal. After picking up our trusty station wagon, which will serve as our mode of transporta...

After the emptyness of the South Island the traffic jam in Auckland was a bump back to the wonderful world of city life. We were staying with friends in Auckland so we made our way to the northern side of the city and enjoyed a proper bed and shower for the first time in quite a long time (excluding our time at the Chateau). The following day we...
