Hotels in Auckland, New Zealand

Auckland is a large metropolitan area in New Zealand and has three main forms of public transport: busses, trains and ferries. However, if you want to stay near the main attractions and nightlife in Auckland so you won’t have to worry about traveling far to get from place to place, we suggest staying in Britomart. Britomart, located Downtown, is the main transport hub of the city and it's where most bus and train journeys depart and finish. The ferry is also located downtown, close to Britomart. Another central neighborhood to consider staying in is the Auckland Central Business District (CBD) because it is close to a large selection of bars, cafés and restaurants. Some bus stops that are close to Auckland CBD are Civic Center/Wellesley St West bus stop, 10 Wellesley St East bus stop and 280 Queen St bus stop.

Some popular attractions in the city of Auckland include the Sky Tower, a telecommunications tower located at the corner of Victoria Street and Federal Street in the CBD, which serves as an observation tower and offers magnificent views of the city. The tower is also part of the SkyCity Auckland casino complex. Why not view the city from above before getting a meal and a drink at the casino? Queen Street, located downtown, is also another popular attraction that offers some great shopping in the city from designer brand stores to local retailers. Kelly Tarlton’s Sea Life Aquarium is another firm favorite amongst visitors to Auckland. Located at 23 Tamaki Drive, in the suburb of Orakei, the aquarium overlooks the Waitematā Harbor. Here you can enjoy the Seahorse Sanctuary or wander through the shark tunnel.
