New Zealand Budget Accommodation – Christchurch

admin — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:30:59 +0000

So anyway, next year I'm going to Christchurch, New Zealand to look at colleges around the Southern tip of the country. I'm trying to stay there for about a month. The plane tickets are costing around $5,000 so I figured it's a waste of time and money to only stay for a week... So I'm looking for a cheap place to stay (I'm thinking a hotel will be too expensive) and I want a place that's not a creepy local residents. So if you have ANY information at all on New Zealand Budget Accommodation I will appreciate it! Thanks!!

Hey there. I'm a college student and this past summer I stayed in Auckland for a month. I found hostels were a good way to go. The one I stayed at, called "Base," has hostels all over New Zealand. They're really nice, clean and have room service come and clean the rooms, they're safe and have locked access (keeps the creepers out!).

There's also an internet lounge, full kitchen, fridges in the rooms, and laundry on site. There's also locked luggage storage you can rent if you're traveling and don't want to take things with you. The basic ones are dorm-styled rooms and you share with five other people.

It was cool though-I'm from the U.S. so I hadn't met alot of people from other countries. A lot of my roommates were from Europe. If you wanted to pay more, you can get rooms with fewer people. I didn't have any trouble though; most backpackers are really friendly and easy-going. It wasn't too expensive: $25 US a night.

I moved around Auckland because I was doing a volunteer project and was stationed all over the city so I wasn't there the entire month. I was only at Base several days at a time. They do offer discounts for New Zealand Budget Accommodation when you stay there extended lengths of time. Hope you enjoy your stay, I wish I was going too!

hi all..i'm going to NZ(southern island)for a 15 day trip and i wonder if anyone can let me know roughly how much i'm expect to spend with accommodation...i know this is a silly question,because it depends on what kind of accommodation etc..but i was thinking New Zealand Budget Accommodation kind of style...not backpackers dorms neither 5star hotel(the last one only because of the lack of money hehe)..i'll be arriving in chc and then travelling down to queenstown,dunedin,milford sound,up to abel national park ,nelson lakes nat.park and also the glaciers...and i wouldn't mind stopping at hanmer springs for a day or two..hehe..any help is appreciated..thanks

I'm trying to remember how much it cost me, but I would say, depending on the time of year you would be looking at around 60-100 NZ$ per night. Some places are more expensive than others obviously and depending on the time of year. Some places you are visiting are small eg Nelson lakes, Glaciers ( either Franz or Fox) "so there is limited accommodation. I worked in Franz Josef for a while and in summer its booked out a lot..... I would try some websites to see whats what....try wotif.com or there are some backpackers that have "nicer"rooms, so that maybe worth looking at....there are networks kind of like YHA, but its BBH ( I do some cleaning in one near Blenheim and they have a range of accommodation available) so it maybe worth a look there.
