Great for a single night
I stayed here for the first and last nights of my tour around North Island in October 2003. At that time the rate was a reasonable $NZ101.
The rooms were good, and the amenities excellent.
Like most airport hotels the Centra is a bit out in the sticks so entertainment is limited. The nearby Bar and Baa is a good alternative if, like me, you don't like drinking in hotel bars.
Recommended.
