Can anyone recommend a hotel for overnight before early flight 6 am.
Need Shuttle service and not expensive, Thank You very much

Thank You Kimberly

If you leave for an international flight there are not many shuttle options.

So, the airport is located in Mangere, next to Manukau City - which itself is rather a dreadful place, so I would not stay there if I did not have to. The shuttle bus from Manukau City to the airport starts at 4.15am only, so this would be too late for checking in 2 (or more) hours before departure.

If you travel alone and book the SuperShuttle door-to-door service you would pay NZ$ 28 from Manukau City to the airport. A taxi would not cost you much more for this short distance about 10 km).

Best you stay at a hotel near the airport in Mangere, for example the Airport Gold Star Motel. They say they are 3 min from the airport, and they advertise free airport shuttle. I do not know if they would do it at the time you require it, but I think 3 min in a taxi would be a very small cost.

On the AA Travel website www.aatravel.co.nz you will find more. Many advertise free airport transfers. But, as said, the time you need it is not really during business hours...

I agree, stay near the airport and pick a place with free shuttle :-)
