Getting TO/AROUND: We prefer to use this company, having done so for many years. It is a family run business which began from a small fleet to the size it is today, situated in both islands. Although not one of the big Names in rental cars, we have no problem recommending McDonalds. Their cars are never more than 2 yrs old, always in very good condition, and the price rates are always very good. Not situated at the International Airport, they will make arrangements to meet you, so that is not a problem. Within NZ the toll free number is: 0800 164 165

Getting TO/AROUND: CITY CIRCUIT FREE BUS This is a GREAT service that uses an environmentally friendly Electric bus to run a continuous 10 minute service around the central city. 8am - 6pm, 7 days. This is an excellent service as walking up Queen Street can be a chore, especially if you have armsful of shopping, LOL. It runs: Britomart > Queen St (Vulcan Lane) > Queen St (Whitcoulls) > University > AUT > Civic theatre (Queen St) > Skytower > Queen St City Life Hotel > Queen St (BNZ Tower) and then back to Britomart. I found the drivers to be exceptionally friendly and efficient. Maybe that was because they weren't taking money and the passengers were more friendly :-)

Getting TO/AROUND: The Britomart station in downtown Auckland is still under construction although it is open for business. The services are basic and need to build up and grow. Auckland has not had good rail services up until now, so we hope that will change in the future. The architecture of the station itself is well worth the visit. Very attractive and interesting.

Nice page. Thanks for info. | Gillybob Wed Jan 2, 2008 09:40 UTC
Of course! Silly me! Yes-deposit paid. Flights are booked. AND I'm planning on heading out your way in 2009-probably late January for 3 weeks. Hoping I can cover the main sights in that time-can't commit to more annual leave. Gillybob greetings | veronicaarg Mon Nov 19, 2007 17:26 UTC
thanks a lot Pam for the suggestions and pics! I´m looking into moving to parnell and this has definitely encouraged me to do so :-) | yellowbell Thu Nov 15, 2007 04:19 UTC
Thanks for the tips Pam. I might go there for my honeymoon, Jan. of next year. Free city circuit bus is interesting just like the free city circle tram of Melbourne. |
