Eight years in the making and representing a $5.5 billion investment, Auckland’s new City Rail Link (CRL) is set to be a game changer for getting around the city!


Getting around Auckland from Verandahs Parkside Lodge couldn’t be easier. Just a 5-minute walk to Karanga-a-Hape Station gives you convenient access to the city centre and beyond, making it easier than ever to explore everything Auckland has to offer.


Even better, getting to and from the airport is now more affordable and convenient! For just $6.50, catch a direct airport bus from either the International or Domestic Terminal to Puhinui Station, then connect with the train to Karanga-a-Hape Station.


From there, take the Beresford Square exit and enjoy a short 5-minute walk to Verandahs Parkside Lodge.


Whether you’re arriving in Auckland, heading out to explore, or discovering more of the city, getting around has never looked easier!


Stay with us and experience Auckland with greater ease.


🚆 Plan your journey with the City Rail Link route map.
