sandbag7 Posted May 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2017 we have a 1 day stay in Auckland (a Sunday) after our cruise and then fly to Sydney and in home starting with a 7:30 am flight. Optimally I would like to find a hotel accessible and convenient to the ports for bag drop off and touring and also convenient to the airport for our next morning flight - I'm assuming we will need to leave around 5 am for the airport? Thanks for any thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendylaguna Posted May 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I have chosen Ponsonby manor for our stay there..very convenient to restaurants etc. in a neat area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it convenient to both the cruise terminal and the airport? Those are my concerns plus a guesstimate of how long it will take to get to the airport at 5 am.

Rare MMDown Under Posted May 11, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I would google Auckland Airport re transport options to airport. Skybus runs 24 hours to and from airport. aucklandairport.co.nz Check with your airline re checkin times, as I'd think you'd have to leave before 5 am for a 7.30 international flight. Then I would check best location for accommodation (e.g. near Skybus stops). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendylaguna Posted May 12, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The Ponsonby Manor recommended we use a shuttle service ( We arrive at 7 Am). Apparently their location is very near buses. 2 km from CBD, 10 min by bus, walk 20 minutes. It is a 10-20 minute walk to the ferry. Their website will allow you to ask them questions and they are very responsive for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
