get_together | Accommodation for Out of Towners

~~This icon brought to you by the letters W, T, and F, and the realisation I have to write 15,000 words of ST:XI by next Monday and I have not only 0 words, but also 0 plot.~~ This icon's ass now kicked by my awesome and fearful power of writing five thou words a day when under the gun, and China and Mr China's promptings over dinner.

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.
