What kinds of hotels are there in Auckland?

There are all kinds of hotels in Auckland. Whether you’re looking to be pampered beyond belief in a multi-starred joint or want to rough it in a backpacker’s hostel, there’s something for you.

• Rendezvous Hotel Auckland: Welcome to the land of luxury. Getting pampered takes on another meaning when you’re at the Rendezvous. After your spa treatment—which includes a massage and ample time in the sauna—comes to a close, you’ll head up to the rooftop garden with a glass of wine. Cheers!
• Nomads Auckland Backpackers Hostel: This isn’t the type of hostel you’ve always heard about. On the contrary. This place is more like a luxury resort that calls itself a hostel. No better way to meet new people from faraway places, right?

What are some things to do in Auckland?

When you’re ready to leave your accommodation in Auckland, the possibilities for fun are endless.

• Sky Tower: From the top of the tallest building in the city, you’ll be able to see forever…at least, almost forever. And if you really want to get a thrill, sign up for the bungy-jump experience. It’ll probably be your most exciting and scariest moment of all time.
• Mount Victoria: If you want to get amazing views of the city without having to take an elevator to the top of a skyscraper, go for a nature hike up Mount Victoria in Wellington. Bring a bottle of local sauvignon blanc and cheers to yourself while overlooking the city. You deserve it.
• Eden Park: Nothing is more New Zealand than a good ol’ rugby match. Make your way to the country’s largest stadium and get rowdy with the locals as they cheer the national team, the All Blacks. Be sure to get there early so you can watch the team perform their famous and terrifying haka war dance. You may need a new pair of pants after this one.

Enough is enough already. Stop fooling around, will you? The time to book one of Wotif’s Auckland holiday packages is now, because you deserve a getaway. And when your time in New Zealand’s biggest city is up, extend your trip by paying a visit to Australia’s Northern Territory.
