INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Once through the Customs area, you can turn either left or right. To the left is marked Tours & Groups, this will take you to the bus staging, shuttle and taxi ranks areas outside the glass doors of the building. The AirBus is on the extreme right, past the taxi rank. An AirBus leaves every 20 min. [5:00am - 10pm] from there and this is the cheapest ride into Auckland. [They will drop you at our door.]
We also have a freephone to ACB in the Visitor's Information Centre in the main arrivals area. The Receptionist can arrange for a Shuttle driver to collect you from the freephone or give you instructions to get to the Shuttle Rank..
DRIVING TO ACB
Head to Queen Street, this is the main street of Auckland and is marked on every map. Driving down Queen Street, turn left onto Darby Street. This is a smaller street between Victoria and Wellesley Street. You'll see our doorway 5 metres down Darby St, and there is a carpark 20 metres further down Darby Street.

Fantastic hostel with over 500 beds, very clean and great facilities. Our room was on the 10th floor in the corner of the building so we had 2 windows with good views across the city."
