    Accommodation near Auckland Airport

    Can someone recommend a cheap(ish) motel somewhere near the Airport?
    We don't fancy fighting the rush hour traffic to get there.
    Doesn't have to be 5 star, but clean and good value.
    Failing that, does someone in the area want to put up with the three of us for one night?

    Also looking for somewhere to have farewell dinner and drinks. Again, not 5 star (we are fast running out of money) but good food at a reasonable price.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Try the closest I-site / info centre, they normally know whats what in the area. The closest is the hotel on the corner of ........ bugger can't remember now........Kirkpatrick street??? Something like that. Remember it is winter & they should have plenty of empty beds, negotiate hard with them. I run an accommodation business & ill be buggered if I will turn people away by sticking to my price, half of nothing is nothing in all that. Hope that helps

To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Real good advice there, we got a lovely hotel for silly money with the I site doing the bargaining. Give them a price and see if they can get down to it, you'd be surprised this time o year.
    Oh bugger

    Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.

    I recently stayed here for a month. Work paid so I don't know how pricey it is. It's pretty new and they have a free shuttle service. There's no restaurant but they offer a free breakfast.

    This one is pretty good too, they also have a full restaurant & bar.

    Let me know if I can be of help, I live down the road from the airport.

    We stayed at Ventura Inn for the Friday night prior to our flight to Noumea early on Saturday just a few weeks ago. It was comfortable, especially the bed, is close to the airport, has a free shuttle and only cost $109 for the night and continental breakfast is free in the lounge area. We didn't bother with the breakfast because were going to eat at the Koru lounge anyway. I would go back to Ventura Inn so do recommend it.
    Cheers

    The local fish and chips shop throw out a couple of boxes every night... If you ask nicely they might even throw some chip paper out to use as blankets.

    Right...taken recommendation and booked at Ventura.
    Now just gotta organise the hoi polloi to join us at a eaty/drinky place. The Toby Jug seems like a good candidate, but all suggestions welcome.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Room we got had two queensize beds. I like that - sleep in one, spread your suitcases out on the other one.

    Forgot to add, negotiate hard with them just not with me if you ever stay

    I stayed at the Kiwi International Airport Hotel a while ago. It's large, older style, decent rooms, nothing flash, free shuttle, cheap. Think I paid $75 for two of us for one night.
