Fantastic location and price. The Hilton Hotel is right out the front door. In fact their doorman helped us with our bags. We stayed in a 2 bedroom fully furnished and equipped apartment with 2 full bathrooms. Right on the water. Very safe and comfortable. Did not want for anything. Washer and dryer complete with soap powder. The Hilton had no rooms available and their prices were three times more. All your needs are within walking distance. Stores, super markets, restaurants, sites, cruise ship dock, it is all right on the wharf. Would stay there again. Located about 40 minutes from the airport, approx. $80.00 NZ cab fare. When we were leaving we rented a car from "About New Zealand Rental Cars". Great company; they picked us up at our front door and took us to their office. No extra charge, great cars and prices. Very professional organization. Would also use them again.
