RMLLEL Posted October 31, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Would anyone know if there is a grocery store near the Hilton Hotel by the cruise ship pier? I'm looking for one within walking distance. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted October 31, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Would anyone know if there is a grocery store near the Hilton Hotel by the cruise ship pier? I'm looking for one within walking distance. Thanks. From the end of the pier, Princes Wharf, turn left and walk about 3 blocks which will take you to a large supermarket called Countdown. They also have a large wine section. Across the road form Princes Wharf is the Westfield Dowtown Mall with a big range of speciality shops.

MrYellowDuck Posted November 3, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2012 There is also a New World supermarket slightly closer than Countdown (perhaps a 3 or 4 minute walk - on Queen Street) although it's a mini-store and Countdown will have both a better selection and be cheaper.

Waihekean Posted November 3, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Although not a supermarket the closest store will be next to the Hilton at the end of the pier (turn right), there is a Starmart that also has a Subway inside. Great for buying snacks, drinks, magazines etc. Prices are reasonable for a convenience store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishlady Posted November 4, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Countdown is a long walk , specially if you are carrying several bottles of wine:), we found the shopping mall near the port was great , i got my nails done , bought loads of bits and pieces , the is an outlet on the top floor. Loved Auckland we got a local bus and got to see the city very cheaply, lloking forward to going there in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
