Very tidy hotel that's about as far away as T5C-T5A from arrivals and accessible via an airtrain, you get to arrive, crash for the night, spend the next day sightseeing, grab your bags and check-in.

Adds 24 hours to your travel time, but so much better than going all the way to the antipodes at once, even in J.
WHich airport did you fly into jerub - just asking as NZ only has North or South Island
