• BY CAR: Travelling north from Auckland city centre, cross the harbour bridge and take the Esmonde Rd/Devonport exit. At the end of Esmonde Rd, turn right into Lake Rd. Follow the signs down Lake Rd to Devonport, and at the very end turn right at the roundabout into Victoria Rd. The Esplanade Hotel is at the foot of Victoria Rd, opposite the ferry terminal.
• PRE-ARRANGED PERSONAL PICKUP: Avoid waiting at the airport with a pre-arranged personal pickup, where you will be driven to the door in the comfort of a luxury car. Our driver will meet you in the arrivals hall with your name on a board. The price for this service is NZ$90 including GST, and must be booked with the hotel in advance.
• BY AIRPORT SHUTTLE: Airport shuttles are taxi-vans with luggage trailers, and are located outside the airport terminal. An airport shuttle will bring you to our door for about NZ$40 for one person, and NZ$5 for the second person.
• BY TAXI: A taxi from the airport takes about 40 minutes and will cost approximately NZ$70.
• BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT: The Airbus leaves the international and domestic airport terminals every 20 minutes from 6am, and the journey into Auckland city takes 60 minutes. Take the Airbus from the airport to the Sightseeing Centre in the city (opposite the ferry terminal). Cross the road to the ferry building, and take the Devonport ferry which leaves half-hourly. It takes just 10 minutes to cross the harbour to Devonport, and The Esplanade Hotel is directly across the road from the ferry terminal.
