Advantages: beautiful location, fantastic staff Disadvantages: you cannot walk to the city
We decided to book Spencer on Byron as our first stop in New Zealand as this hotel had the best reviews on a rival site, and was within our budget at about £40 per night.
We landed in Auckland at 11 pm, tired after a 24 long trip from London. As Spencer on Byron is right across town, we got a good look of Auckland at night - beautiful. The taxi driver actually asked us how come we had picked that hotel as most tourists want to be closer to the city. At this stage we started to feel a bit worried about our choice, as in my experience taxi drivers are a good source of information on where to go and what to do. However, after a 35-40 minute long drive much of it through green luscious suburbs, we arrived at the hotel. The taxi ride cost us $80, including tips (you do not need to tip in New Zealand, but old habits die hard). As we ...
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 ...
Advantages: Great beaches and surf Disadvantages: Expensive
much, it is not every day you can just climb up onto a table in a bar and dance away.
The Beach Hotel - or 'The Beachy' as it is affectionately known is one of my favourite places in Byron Bay. It is chilled out and relaxed with a gorgeous outside drinking area that looks onto The Main Beach. They do great lunch time or evening food here, I recommend the nachos and also scampi.
Some evenings and also Sunday afternoons the Beachy has live music, I spent one Sunday afternoon listening to a reggae band it was fabulous fun.
Drinks are slightly expensive here but they do have some great cocktails. This place attracts a real mixture of holiday makers and locals.
The Railway - Situated in the centre of Byron Bay this pub is always busy. The Railway is quite a local's pub with live music and good food.
The Buddha Bar - this is ...
