North Island and Auckland Hotels
The North Island is the slightly smaller yet more populated of the main two New Zealand islands, and Auckland is the largest city. Roughly a third of the entire population of New Zealand lives in Auckland itself. Whereas The South Island is generally seen as the more ‘touristy’, area, The North Island is the cultural capital of New Zealand, where all the big cities and the majority of the Maori remains are located.

If it’s cheap, convenient hotels that you are looking for then we suggest looking into the Ibis Rotorua, a budget friendly hotel located in the Rotorua region to the South of Auckland in the hot spring region is located in an area that makes travelling to the rest of the island easy and convenient. It is also located in one of the major tourist spots itself, making that one bit of travelling you can avoid entirely! If you’d rather spend your trip in Auckland then we recommend The Langham. The Langham is situated at the edge of the city, however it uses this to it’s advantage. By being further away from the centre The Langham was able to build on a larger amount of land, which it uses to make more luxurious rooms and facilities for the guests. The Langham also compensates for it’s slightly out of the way location by providing a free shuttle bus.
