Great place stay if you have a very early flight
"Room cost a lot more than I paid anywhere else in NZ, but it was also the nicest place I stayed - albeit for less than 12 hours. It is just a couple of minutes walk to International Departures area and that justified the cost for my 06:40 departure."
