North Island Accommodation: NZ Travel
Visting the North Island of New Zealand? NZ Travel provides information on options for North Island accommodation.
New Zealand Travel is dedicated to providing a complete online resource for those travelling to and around New Zealand.
For those looking to travel around the North Island of New Zealand, there are a number of key areas that you should include on your itinerary. Find out about them here as well as links to North Island accommodation options.
Staying in Auckland
Auckland is perhaps the best known city in New Zealand on the world stage and is an essential stop off on your travels around the North Island. If you're looking to stay in Auckland, you'll find plenty of information on Auckland accommodation on New Zealand Travel.
Whether you want to be near the nightlife and activities in the heart of Auckland's central business district, or you would rather sample the hotels and motels along the striking waterfront along Auckland's coastline, you're bound to find an accommodation option that suits the needs of you, your family or your partner.
As Auckland roads can be quite busy and tricky to navigate for new-comers, it's a good idea to get an idea of the attractions that you want to visit during your stay in Auckland so that you can find accommodation that minimises travelling distance. For example, if you want to simply visit the city centre and take in attractions such as the nightlife and casino, you'll find that there are plenty of hotels right in the city centre that can provide you will less time travelling and more time enjoying yourself.
Likewise, if you would rather sample attractions that are outside of Auckland's city centre, there are a number of hotels, motels and holiday parks that are suitably placed for access to the region without the traffic of the city.
Staying in Rotorua
Rotorua is another highly popular area on the North Island amongst tourists travelling around New Zealand. There are Rotorua accommodation options to suit everyone from budget to luxury.
Believe it or not, Rotorua is most famous for its smell. Or perhaps more accurately, the source of its smell - the geothermal activity that produces hot pools and a resulting smell of sulphur. Sampling this itself is a unique experience and one not to be missed.
Spend some time in the hot pools while you are here and make sure that, if you're staying in a holiday park, you have access to the showers so that you can wash off the sulphur smell! If you're staying in a hotel or motel and are looking to head out for an evening meal, give yourself enough time to get back and shower before heading to your restaurant.
Staying in Taupo
Taupo is the home to the impressive Lake Taupo and another region that is highly worth a visit. New Zealand Travel provides information and links to a range of Taupo accommodation to suit you and your travelling companions during your stay.
While not as big as Auckland and Wellington, you'll still find an impressive array of accommodation options from holiday parks to hotels in the Taupo region.
Staying in Wellington
A trip around the North Island, and in fact, to New Zealand, is not complete without a visit to our nation's capital, Wellington. Wellington is a thriving city with an active arts and culture scene. You can find Wellington accommodation to suit your stay in the capital city on the New Zealand travel website.
There is plenty of public transport in Wellington but if you intend to stay in a hotel or motel that's a bit too far to walk to the city centre, contact the reception desk before-hand to find out what the transport options are to the city centre and how much you can expect to pay.
There is an overwhelming amount of information available for tourism in New Zealand and that's why New Zealand Travel make it easy for you by making relevant information easily accessible from one place.
