Accommodation

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

A perennial bugbear, it remains a regret we don't have an all-in-one space like the sinpozium venue in Sydney, but we do what we can.

Hotel Option:

If you move quickly, and you're willing/able to splash out a little more this year, I heartily recommend the Brentwood. (I've never actually stayed there, before anyone makes me sign in blood, but I have been to functions and enjoyed them.) Do twins and triples, but in each case you can pack in an extra person (ie triple and quad) if two of you are willing to share a queen bed. About $50-80 pp depending on combos and packing. Big advantage: literally across the road and down a wee lane from the venue. Also, free pick-up from airport, so save on taxis.

Motel Option:

The 747

Odd combinations, twins definitely, double + single, also trundle beds available which makes me lol, but may be an option for those of you who are pixie sized -- I know some are! About $30-40 pp depending on combos and packing. Looks small but cosy. Big advantage: literally across the road and round the corner from the venue.

Hostel Options:

X-Base

Nomads

The two nicest hostels in Wellington. Full range of rooms, from dorms to en suites. $30-50 pp depending on combos. Both are on the direct bus route to Kilbirnie. Many of you have stayed there, many times. ;-p

Feel free to use the comments on this post to discuss options/organise roommates. And of course to ask any accommodation related questions. :D

ETA: Many thanks to dewey3067 for organising and booking the hotel rooms. Check out full details in comments.

Hi - it's been pretty quiet. Any word from the Auckland contingent? I'm going to book a couple of rooms tomorrow, we can always adjust it later but I'd like to lock something in.

So maybe a rough count - how many people from up north do you think? And Fri & Sat or are there also some Sunday stayers?

(I'll be there all three nights and I'm happy to have the booking in my name)

Hi! I think the rest of them are still not sure where/if they'll need hotel accomodation, but I am right now looking at being there Fri night, Sat night, Sun night. Will check in with the others when I see them and get back to you! Also, that would be super helpful, thank you. :)

Yay! Just an estimate on the optimistic side would be wonderful.
