Advantages: comfortable quiet rooms,hotel situated conveniently for access to the City CBD, and 20 minutes maximum from Auckland International Airport Disadvantages: poor timing on our part, we arrived at reception early evening just after 2 parties,quite a wait as a result
...We arrived at Auckland International Airport from Fiji in late afternoon.It took a while to clear immigration and customs,and ,more prolonged, to clear the checks of the NZ Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Quarantine service, as we had 2 wood based gift products purchased in Nadi.
Hire car,courtesy of EZY,was picked up from the airport information desk and airport car park.
The 3 star hotel was reached via an easy drive on good quality dual carriageway roads ( the South Western Motorway and Hugh Watt Drive) in 20 minutes, and through the Royal Oak district.
Greenlane is a pleasant leafy residential suburb of Auckland, adjacent to Cornwall park. There is a good bus service into central Auckland, and importantly the hotel is well placed for access to the Southern Motorway which we used to head south to Rotorua.Central Auckland...

...across the the Lion Chambers, another old and aesthetically pleasing building. Huddersfield has some great old architecture going on, aswell as plenty of new developments, its turning into a mini leeds.
Over the past 3 years or so, one end of the town centre has been completely redeveloped from derelict buildings into bars, nail bars, a shopping centre and a couple of posh little shops including a fantastic little lingerie boutique called Bare that all women MUST visit.
Huddersfield does have the potential to become much bigger and better than it currently is, the only thing that gets me down about living here is that at night, everything stops, if Huddersfield was a 24hr town it would be fantastic.
