Accommodation
There are literally 100s of options for accommodation in Queenstown,
below we have found a few options at various price points:
Blue
Peaks Lodge will offer a 10% discount if you quote the Welsh/Robinson
Wedding. Prices range from $120-$195 for a double room per night.
It’s clean, tidy
and very close to the reception venue. Jump online www.bluepeaks.co.nz
or ring 03 4429224.
YHA Queenstown Central. 48A Shotover Street, which is a great
location as you are in the heart of Queenstown. A private, double
room with ensuite is $88 (so the cheapest you can get without
going camping really!!). They are recently renovated rooms
and it’s
a friendly hostel. Marilyn. Phone 03 4427400 for more info.
The
Copthorne Hotel is a bit pricer, but it’s a good location
with nice suites, with rooms around $200 a night 1-4 people.
Phone 03 4428123.
The Queenstown
Holiday Park, has cheap(ish), basic accommodation ranging from
motel style, to camp sites and small cabins.
It does book out quickly though. Their website quote $158 for
1-4 people
for the motel rooms. Ph: 0800 482 735. http://www.holidaypark.net.nz
There are hundreds of other hotel/motel options, which
are equally good, and there are some lovely B &B’s
that can be a reasonable option too. You may wish
to rent an apartment, which
is a good option,
but it can be an expensive one. Quotes start at about
$230 per night for two people, then another $40 for
any additional
people
on top
of that.
A good web-site to check is www.experiencequeenstown.co.nz for accommodation prices and places.
Transport
To get to get to Queenstown many people will need
to book flights, cheap flights can sometimes
be found on Air
NZ’s
grabaseat site Or as neither of the major
airlines would offer me specials, I'm not playing
favourites, I'll also provide the Qantas
website.
The airport to town is roughly 7kms and about a
$25 taxi ride.
Transport around Queenstown - Queenstown has plenty
of taxis and a relatively limited bus service.
If you are interested
in a rental
car, check out Juicy Rentals.
Activities
Oh boy don't get me started... Queenstown is
the adventure capital of the world and
there is something
for everyone
here. Bungy
jumps, canyon swings, whitewater rafting,
Lord of the Rings trips and
sooooo much more. If you are interested
you can book any entertainment through
the YHA. (Lucy’s stepmum Marilyn
is the head honcho there, so you know it’s
gonna be reliable). Up the gondola itself
there are a ton of
activities,
including
the downhill luge.
