Righty-ho then. I'll keep stalling with g/t bzns.
Options for accommodation are pretty much as follows:
Hostels
X-Base
Nomads
I don't think there's much doubt these are the two nicest hostels in the downtown area. They're certainly the newest. I've never stayed at either, but I've scoped both out (China and I trawled the entire town last year) and my impression is that Nomads is quieter. I've also heard anecdotally that it's slightly nicer. You can get a quad or a sixer for about $30 per person per night at both. Both are equally close to the bus stop, and it's a fifteen minute ride to Kilbirnie.
Sethra has already assembled a party, so if you're in that group, please finalise with her at her post back here.
Motels
747
Will do triples for about $40 pp. Might be worth checking out. The advantage would be that you'd be just across the road. Otoh, it's small, so might be full during the hols.
Any questions, please ask.
Final List:
The Wellington Eight get to sleep in their own beds
The X-Base Six (Carol, Mab, Elaine, Pru, Dewey and Jasmine) are in the Sanctuary at Base
The Sydney Four (Al, Meelie, Sin and Libby) are putting us all to shame at the Museum Hotel
The Ls (Linda, Lee and Lyn) are at the Pixie Palace
The Canadiadians (Claire and Kat) are at the 747
Ange is on a couch in Wilton *lol*
Chris is at her Mum's

Date: 2009-09-19 11:18 pm (UTC)Yay, the 747. Perfect location. I can't think what you'll need a car for though, unless you guys are staying on and you're showing Kat the sights, in which case I'll Shut Up Now.

no subject
Date: 2009-09-21 09:23 am (UTC)Ooh, if lunch is going on we're totally up for it, yes. I wasn't expecting anyone to actually be off work on Friday already, so that would be shiny and I would love to spend more time with all you locals who'll be there and I want to wave you guys and Kat at each other a lot and be smug in my good company, so. :D

Date: 2009-09-21 09:29 am (UTC)China and I both have the day off, and Ceri is hoping to join us for lunch (as she may find attending much of the weekend difficult). I was going to suggest somewhere out East, so Kat can see the beaches or whatever too. Assuming it's a nice day...

Date: 2009-09-21 09:36 am (UTC)And, ahhh, ooh. Yes, we're definitely down for lunch and that would be super cool fun to do that somewhere out east if it wouldn't put you guys out too much, for sure. \o/ *crosses fingers for weather*

Will you be in Wgtn in time for dinner?
