[2025 Auckland Hotels] Travel Guide for voco Auckland City Centre (Updated Jul)

"People should stay in a place without a ceiling" This is the first impression New Zealand gave me, embracing nature infinitely. 🏔️The snow-capped mountains, blue lakes and rolling mountains make this place perfect for a long journey. . February in New Zealand happens to be summer in the southern hemisphere☀️, which is the best month to escape the winter in the northern hemisphere. Let me introduce the preparations before the trip in detail: . 🇳🇿 Visa: E-visa, the application materials are simple, you can DIY it yourself! If the family travels together, the whole family can apply with one account. The average visa issuance date is about 30 days, so it is recommended to apply as early as possible and leave two months of margin. . ✈️Air tickets: It is recommended to buy Chinese airlines for international flights. Air New Zealand's direct flights to Shanghai are often rescheduled and cancelled for unknown reasons. It is difficult to communicate with the customer service hotline. I chose China Eastern Airlines, which flies directly from Shanghai to Auckland. I departed in the early morning and arrived in Auckland at 4pm local time. The time was perfect, and the departure time did not take up much daytime. There are two choices for flights within New Zealand: low-cost airline Jetstar and Air New Zealand. Friends who want to choose Jetstar should remember to buy checked baggage directly. Jetstar can check in 19KG of baggage, while Air New Zealand can check in 23KG. I suggest you fly directly to Air New Zealand, as the seats there will be better. . 🚗Itinerary: My itinerary is 9 days, not a special forces itinerary! The main purpose is to enjoy the beautiful scenery and chill and have fun. 🛬【Day1】Fly from Shanghai to Auckland and stay at VOCO Hotel I highly recommend VOCO Hotel. The Italian restaurant on the first floor is great. The freshly baked pizza 🍕 and burrata cheese are both worth a try. The hotel is right next to the Space Needle, which can be seen from the room, and it is only a 5-minute walk from Queen Street for shopping. 🛍️【Day 2】Shopping in Auckland, Victoria Hill Shopping on Queen Street, or you can take a taxi to New Market where there are more brands. In the afternoon, you can take a taxi to Mount Victoria on the other side of the city and overlook the entire Auckland from a distance. For dinner, I recommend Angus Steak House, a steakhouse that has been open for fifty years. 🚗【Day3】Fly from Auckland to Queenstown, drive to Mt Cook Remember to choose a full-size SUV when renting a car. The mountain road is rugged and difficult to drive, and it is right-hand drive. We chose a Toyota Land Cruiser. The scenery along the way is so beautiful! We stayed in a mountain view room at The Hermitage Hotel at night. It was the most worthwhile hotel on this trip, and all the photos we took were great. 🥾【Day4】Hike to Mt Cook and drive to Wanaka There are three classic hiking routes to choose from. Bring a jacket in case of rain. 🌳【Day5】Wanaka, drive to Queenstown Check in the loneliest tree in the world. 🏔️【Day6-9】Queenstown Must stay at Kamana Lakehouse, and another must-go project is Onsen Hot Spring♨️, the scenery is so beautiful that it makes you cry😭

The location of this hotel is great, right between the city center and the commercial bay, convenient to both places. It is also close to the airport bus stop, a five-minute walk away. The front desk is small, but the service is very warm. The view from the room when you open the door is very good, you can see the Auckland city view and the O Harbor in the distance. The facilities are complete, the layout is reasonable, and the area is large. Hotel: voco Auckland City Centre Address: 13 Wyndham Street, Auckland CBD. Auckland 1010 Attractions in New Zealand: Queen Street - 330m; Sky Tower - 340m Auckland Art Gallery - 660m; Viaduct Harbour - 750m New Zealand National Maritime Museum - 790m University of Auckland - 880m

After moving from the South Island to the North Island, I stayed in the city because I like to stay in new hotels, so I chose this one, which should be the newest hotel in Auckland at the moment! The front desk of Voco is very considerate, the two rooms booked are on the same floor, and you can join the IHG membership for a free upgrade of the room type! The check-in experience is full~ The room is equipped with 2 bottles of glass bottled water, the overall layout is very good, and the sunset check-in just caught the sunset! It's great, it's amazing😆 The bathroom is separated from the wet and dry, and the bath products used are all antipodes, not bad~ The room is very bright, I will continue to stay next time~
