Queenstown - BOOKED

We have booked for Queenstown for a week.    A fast booking was required as Air NZ came out with a 24 hour Sale $89 (carry on only) or $99 each way (checked luggage).

We went with book checked luggage each way, although we could have done what my SIL did and booked one of each as we don't actually travel with that much luggage.   Decided checked luggage each as I travel with the power chair and walker, so that would be a bit too cheeky!

So we are off on 22nd October returning 28th October.  We have managed to get a good deal at the Copthorne Lakeview http://www.millenniumhotels.co.nz/copthornequeenstownlakeview/

Our package "Moments to Treasure" is $129 a night for two with a full cooked breakfast included.  Much cheaper than a motel.   We found they only have ONE Accessible room, which is a Superior Room with a courtyard.   SIL & BIL (J & D) have booked the Superior Lakeview with balcony at $149pn, so we will have somewhere to sip wine in the evening!

J & D will stay 21st October to 27th October at the Copthorne while we will be there 22nd to 26th, moving from there to the Mercure http://www.mercure.com/gb/hotel-1994-mercure-queenstown-resort/index.shtml on the 26th to 28th which is where the Alfa Romeo Owners Club AGM will be based for the weekend.  (But that is secret squirrel information at this stage as the club has not actually released the AGM weekend details!)

J is in charge of arrangements and activities this time and she has already started gathering a file of information.
