Auckland was a nice city, but after going to Christchurch, I'd go south if I return to NZ again.

If you take the Hotel Bus from the Auckland Aiport, take in mind that the Hyatt is the last hotel of the itinerary and you can stay on the bus 50/60 minutes before to reach the hotel. The only other option is the taxi.

I am only ever in Auckland on business so do not get to see much of the city.
The hotel was prompt and efficient in organinsing taxis for me to get to my appointments.

New Zealand is a beautiful country with lots to see and do. North Island: In Auckland, one restaurants that we ate at, the Sea Mart, was, in our estimate, grossly over-rated. We would not recommend it. We would recommend taking a bus-tour of Auckland, and visiting the AA office (but take along your AAA or CAA card)--lots of free maps, brochures and accommodations guides. Eat at Fat Dog Cafe in Rotorua. Go on a whale watch in Kaikoura. South Island: Visit a winery. Drive up to Mt. Cook to the Hermitage Hotel; sit in the lounge and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sun set behind beautiful Mt. Cook.
Even if you don't bungy jump, do stop at one of the sites and watch the crazies; its wild. Take a jet-boat ride with Shotover Jet in Queenstown. Go through the underground power station on the west shore of Lake Manapouri, then take a cruise through Doubtful Sound. Highly recommended is the Punakaiki Rocks Hotel in Punakaiki, on the west coast, right on the Tasman Sea; while you're there, see the pancake rocks and blowholes...very worth-while. Take bug spray for your walking tours. Stop at Fox Glacier and Franz Joseph Glaciers.
Also, if you get lost, have questions or problems, don't hesitate to ask the kiwis; they are very friendly and helpful, and just plain nice people. Try all the different kinds of food (and forget your diet).

When on a 1/2 day tour of Auckland booked at hotel was very interesting and informative tour. Hotel also arraanged a cab for us to go to dinner the cab fare was three times more than the return cab. $15+ vs $5 We told hotel desk they said it was the cab company they use. I would recommend calling your own cab.

Stayed at Rydges Rotorua - Rotorua, New Zealand.

We were en route to Auckland - as we did not know that the hotel had its own 'hangi' evening, we had already booked elsewhere. This info with the booking details would have been useful. Loved the area - great atmosphere - recommend the Spa baths with thermal springs ..

We enjoyed riding the gondola to the top and walking down as well as the cruise to observe the Hector Dolphins. The Art Centre was wonderful.

Go ocean rafting if you can. Great fun! I would go to the zoo over underwater world. Get a day pass on the explorer bus where you can get on and off all day, it goes to the main 14 big sites in Auckland.
