Auckland Port Hotels

[eh2zed]

Can someone tell me 3 or 4 decent hotels that are within walking distance of the pier; something you can roll your bags to the pier from. Thanks

[SheilaNC]

Suggest you do a search on this forum...this subject has been discussed in several threads. Good luck.

[mipps]

Hi they say a picture says a thousand words. the "thing" on the right behind us is the sapphire princess, just to the left is the hilton right next door

[mipps]

I think that pic says it all kaseyoz ..... where else in the world can you wake up and have the cruise ship right outside your window

Hilton is full. Anyone have experience with Copthorne Harbour City, apparently the second closest to the pier

[SheilaNC]

While I don't know the Copthorne, there are some lovely hotels within a reasonable distance from the harbor...try a search of this board 'Auckland Hotels' and go to Trip Advisor to see customer reviews of the hotels of interest. Sorry that the Hilton is full, maybe because of all the discussion on the NZ boards :), but at least you'll save some $$ since the H is so expensive! I'm sure you'll find one that you'll enjoy!

There was an earlier thread in which the Copthorne came up. I think this is it:

Unless you're just booking your hotel based on the proximity to the ship you might want to check out the Rendevouz. Our group of 6 was able to book 3 pre-cruise rooms there for $170 NZD by calling and booking direct. As I remember the internet web prices were $195.

Here is a shot of Aurora berthed at Auckland.

The Hilton on the right at the stern and the Copthorne is the brick building at the bow.Copthorne is just over the road from the end of the pier and is more what you would call a comfortable tourist hotel.Excellent location for a short stay.

Are any of those other buildings The Rendevouz? We are booked there at the end of our cruise Feb 3

Kiwi Kruzer, thank you so much. I am going to pursue booking it. Expedia has it for 145 CDN incl GST. Location I want

No.The Rendevouz is a few blocks further up.

We are staying at the Crowne Plaza at the end of our cruise. Don't know how far it is from the dock, it doesn't matter since we have X shuttle as part of the package. Most hotels probably have their own shuttle.

We walked from the Stamford Plaza to the pier with all of our luggage. It was mostly downhill and was fine.

 

It's a nice hotel, but check if the construction work is still going on.

[kaseyoz]

in April they were still working but no noise.

[SheilaNC]

We stayed at the Crown Plaza on our last trip...nice location, very good service, and reasonable walk to the Harbor. Enjoy!

Thanks--guess we will check into a taxi for a short ride up from the ship.

If you go to Google Earth and type the name of the hotel and Auckland you can see the location on an aerial view. To see the pier go to Auckland Hilton first.

 

You can also use Google Earth to find distances between sites etc.

Don't know for how many nights you are looking to reserve, but Orbitz(U.S.) has a special on at the moment. For 3 nights use Promo Code 75INTL, for 5 nights 200INTL. With the $75 "coupon", the total price for 3 nights is $340 (U.S.) including taxes.:D BTW, these codes are good for any hotels outside of the U.S. Must be booked by end of Sept., valid for stays until next March.

We are staying at the Peace and Plenty B&B across the bay in Devonport. It's just a short ferry ride across the bay.

Devonport is a lovely spot.Great views back to the city.

Sebel suites are across the road from harbour and are 4 star. This is the website:

The prices are in $NZ, so less than $200US.
