Auckland hotels

3 nights pre cruise.  

Thoughts on Grand by Sky ?

Close enough to Harbour? 

 

Or better thoughts? 

 

Thanks

Ive just looked at the street map of Auckland.  I think we must have stayed 3 nights at the Barclay suites on Albert Street.  the suites have kitchens and washing machines (essential for us as we were boarding after a month of land travel in NZ). and we could see the skytower from the balcony .  It was walking distance to everything we wanted , as we met friends over in the yacht harbour to go sailing on one of our days.  also walking distance from where the cruise ships dock, my husband went down before breakfast and came back with a photo of Arcadia to reassure me that our mode of transport back to the UK had arrived on schedule. 

 

we had to take a taxi to the ship though, as we had too much luggage to carry.
