When you're there, take a moment to sit and enjoy a bit of quiet reflection.

Auckland Accommodation

After a massive day of exploring the sights in Auckland, have a rest in one of 145 accommodation. The greatest luxury getaways and cheap holidays are only the beginning at Expedia.

If the idea of an extravagantly stocked minibar and an oversized bathtub appeals to you, grab a glass of Champagne and immerse yourself in luxury at the Mollies Boutique Hotel (6 Tweed Street) or the Hilton Auckland (Princes Wharf 147 Quay Street). Looking for somewhere cheaper? The Auckland Northshore Motels & Holiday Park (52 Northcote Road) and the Silverfern Backpackers (234 Hobson Street) are a couple of places that won't cost you a fortune.

The University of Auckland is a must-see while in Auckland. If you'd like to stay close to this famous attraction, the Hauraki Blue Overnight Cruise and the Hotel DeBrett are both excellent options.
