Heartland Hotel Auckland Airport
hotel would not answer our repeated calls to order the shuttle from the airport, so we took an uber. Place was clean, restaurant food was average. Close to the airport but the shuttle made 4 stops before dropping us off at international terminal, so budget extra time to get your flights.
