Your hosts can meet you at the airport. We will await you in the arrival hall and bring you directly to Ascot Parnell. It is a 30 min drive by car. If you would like to be collected from the airport, ask for details when you book. Also please advise your flight Number and arrival time. The cost is less than a taxi.
Taxis: are waiting outside the Airport terminal, the Taxi-rank is to your right at the front of the airport building as you exit the arrival hall. Costs approx. $95 for two persons.
Shuttle buses: Operate a-door-to-door service, 7/24. They are waiting right outside the Airport terminal, to your right at the front as you exit the arrival hall. The cost is NZ$43 for 2 pax and NZ$ 35 for 1 person. Travel time is about 1 hour, sometimes a little longer as it goes by the major hotels first. Not ideal after a long international flight. PLEASE NOTE : DON'T USE THE AIRBUS. It does NOT stop at our door, and only calls on some downtown chain hotels.
