Auckland Specialty Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Meine Ankunft in Neuseeland wahr einfach grossartig, wir sind am fruehen Morgen nach 30 ermuedenden Stunden (ich konnte im Flieger nicht schlafen!!!) angekommen und sind gleich auf den Mt. Eden (erloschener Vulkan) gefahren, um uns den Sonennaufgang ueber der Skyline von Auckland anzuschauen. Sehr toll sag ich euch!
Das erste Hostel war auch ...

Our last destination of this trip was Auckland. We're not going to say much about this city for two main reasons: 1) We were only there 1/2 a day and an evening and 2) Rachel didn''t think much of it and is the one writing this entry... The views from our hostel were good - the city looks amazing as it's pretty much surrounded by water and has i...

27/01/2009 I spend the day doing laundry, internetting and trying to find a cheap electric razor. I eventually get one for $NZ25 which is about a tenner. I attempt to shave my week old growth, the experience is not particularly pleasurable. I go for another run, which is very tough considering the hot weather and my general lack of fitness and d...

Hi all We have now arrived back in Auckland. The last few days of our trip were spent in Akaroa, where we went swimming with dolphins again- an organised tour this time. When we arrived back in Auckland we began the search for somewhere to live, which in the end was a lot easier than first anticipated. We have found an apartment in the middle of...

My first Christmas in the sunshine and the sun definitely had his hat on! I opened all my pressies over a champagne breakfast and the heat shined down on me over an NZ xmas dinner of salads, roasted kumara (lush sweet potato), plenty more champagne cocktails and raucous antipodean festivities!! The champagne and sunshine rolled over onto Boxing ...

Saying goodbye is never easy. Especially when we know how slim our chances of returning to NZ in the foreseeable future are. We arrived in Auckland focused on selling Gazer and knowing that the car market at this very end of the travel season is a buyer's market. We knew we should allow a few days for the sale and should lower our expectations, ...

So my first real night out in NZ I met up with a girl form my Hostel Liz and some of her friends, we went to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate. Why? Well when I met Liz she was talking about Fiji and I told her I just came from there and showed her pics. She ended up buying a ticket and is going island hopping, one of the other girls just finish...

Back to Auckland to make preparations for OZ. (drinking and snoozing mainly). We went to see Cloverfield in the I Max theatre too. Good flick if not a bit bizzare but plenty of action. It started piddling rain on the last day. Apparently North New Zealand and Australia are getting the **** end of a cyclone which is dumping a fair bit of rain and...

It's been a slightly slow start to Auckland, which isn't really a bad thing. But things are starting to get revved up. We stayed two nights in Auckland where we did a lot of walking around town, saw a couple sights, and rolled. It's a nice city, the biggest in New Zealand, but we were ready to go to more adventurous towns. After Auckland, we dro...

The trip started due to the fact that the ****in van we had purchased 2 months before hand decided it did not like hills, and packed up 45km outside of Auckland. So as a tripod, Nick, Conar and myself enbarked on a experince to the land of the Kiwi. The first leg of the journey afetr a pick up from Parnell road, was to Mt.eden, probably the most...
