Access
Devonport is across the water from Auckland city centre, so you’ll need to get there by boat. The pier is at Britomart, and boats depart every 30 minutes.
To board, you can either buy a ticket at reception, or load money onto an AT HOP card, a rechargeable public transport card, and board through the ticket gates. The fare is 7.40 NZD one way.
