Hey Jag...

Dude, I live in Auckland, we should meet up one day while your here. Are you here on holiday or business?
As for accommodation I need a little for information. Do you have any idea which area in Auckland you would like to stay, (in the heart of the city or a certain suburb or close to airport), a rough price (1 Aus$=0.92NZ$), and is it just you or will you sharing a room?
I've got a hotel guide somewhere in my house, I'll see if I can find it. It might be cheaper though to get a flight/accommodation deal through the airlines.

Get outta here! You live in Auckland? What a coincidence!
I'm going to New Zealand to get my Australian Permanent Residence Visa (have to get it outside of Australia).
I'm looking for a hotel that won't be too far away from the DIMIA office in Auckland (Level 7, Price Waterhouse-Coopers Tower,
186-194 Quay Street, Auckland), at least within walking distance. I will be sharing the room with my partner.
Yeah, I'm planning to get the accomodation in package with my flight, but still, I have to decide which hotel I want, right =)
Well, sure we can meet up when I'm there. Just gimme your phone number and I'll call you when I'm there.

Hey Wiwien, you know a Hotel in the middle of town can be quite expensive mmmkay. The most popular hotel in the country is the Sky City Hotel/Casino which is right in the middle of downtown Auckland. They have a range of prices.

If thats a little too rich then you could try out the City Central Hotel, it's walking distance to the address you mentioned.

Thanks Mandarr, anyone in COG can feel free to come and visit me down in New Zealand, there's plenty more beautiful scenery to see.
Wiwien, don't take this personally but I'm sorry my answer is no. I'm just not comfortable giving my details out to someone who I basically only know through on-line gaming.

What about Quest on Eden, Jag? Is it close as well?

I'd rather stay in a serviced apartment than in hotel if I can, since I will be able to cook myself and save some money on dining out =) But I'd really love to try the seafood on the harbour. You've got to tell me all the fantastic spot for dining out!

Quest on Eden is close to Quay st where you say you want to go, but it is also close to the railway tracks (though a train in Auckland is a rare sight) and costs $170 a night. Looks nice though, 4 star accommodation.
The only other place I can find in th CBD area that has kitchen facilities is called "Auckland City Apartments" at 47 St Pauls Street. It's costs about the same as the city central hotel, $100 a night and is about 250 metres further away than the city central hotel. I've never seen it and there is no website, so I have no idea what it is like.
If you're dining out then yeah you should head down to the waterfront, quite a few new restaurants there because of the America's Cup racing here a short while ago.

I got $125 per night at Quest on Eden because my stay is 7 nights =)
Alright Jag, thanks for the tip on the restaurant. Will definitely go there. I can't wait to have some delicious seafood!
I saw in the brochure, one of the chef is displaying a big fish on plate... hahahaha.... I don't think my partner & I can even finish it.

If you want to use the internet or send E-mail and you don't have a computer available, then there are plenty of cyber-cafe's around Auckland you can use.
As far as I know there is no pre-paid internet in New Zealand.
Net Zero? Never heard of it, don't think we have it here. There used to be free isp's in New Zealand, the would run at about 2kb/sec but they don't exist any more or they stopped taking new subscribers.
