When visiting New Zealand, you have a variety of choices to make with regards to your accommodations. New Zealand Hotels are something that you should give a lot of thought to, because they can offer you things that camping cannot. Perhaps one of the most persuasive arguments for staying in a hotel is how closely they are located to the things that you want to do on vacation. Picking a hotel right in the heart of downtown will make it very easy to travel from one place to another.

Auckland City Hotel-Hobson Street

One of the best things about this hotel is how close it is located to the airport bus stop, which is about three blocks away from the hotel. Queen Street, which is the major shopping area in Auckland, is only a 10-minute walk away, and numerous restaurants including Tony’s Steakhouse and The Sky Tower are within easy walking distance. Prices for the rooms start at $86 a night.

Dorset House Backpackers

When visiting Christchurch, this is one of the nicest places that you can stay for the least amount of money. Staying here, you will be treated to a warm and cozy setting, kind of like a home away from home. You will also be able to use the pool table and books that are located inside the common room. Prices start at just $39 a night, which includes your room and full access to the other parts of the house.

Heritage Queenstown

At this hotel, you have the choice of renting a room or an apartment. If you are traveling with kids, the apartments are great because of how big they are. The hotel is located on the outskirts of town, but you can easily drive to town in two minutes or walk there in 10 minutes. The hotel also offers guests free bus vouchers to help you travel around town. You can expect to pay about $138 a night here.

Tauranga Motel

If you are looking for a hotel that is located along the waterfront, then this is the hotel for you. The one thing that you want to be careful of is the fact that not every room will have a view of the water. The hotel is located about 10 minutes from town, which makes for a nice walk or a short drive. Staying here, you're looking to spend an average of $103 a night, but price will vary based on several factors.

Bali Hai Motel

This hotel is located along the outskirts of Paihia, but it is still within easy walking distance of town. All of the rooms overlook the bay, and each room comes with a safe. Included in the price of the room is free WiFi internet, which is a big seller for most people. Prices per night average $75 a night.
