Getting Around
Bus stop 3484 is 50m up Esmonde Road and is the last stop for buses into the city. From there there are regular connections to the airport and pretty much anywhere in NZ!
Akoranga Bus station is down towards the motorway and has connections north (all the way to Cape Reinga!) and also into the city, although the closer bus stop is more convenient for southbound travel.
