There are a lot of options avaiable to you when looking for accommodation in New
Zealand. Depending on your budget for your trip, and how many are travelling. We
would like to make this as easy as possible to understand so you can look for the
type of accommodation that suits your needs.
Note:
If your holiday is over the summer season of New Zealand (December to February) we
highly recommend that you book at the very least two weeks in advance to avoid disappointment.
campgrounds and holiday parks
With a large selection of accommodation options catering to campers, motorhomes
and travellers, Campgrounds and Holiday Parks are an affordable option for anyone.
All have communal kitchens, toilets, showers and laundry facilities. Also with cabins
and tourist flats varying in size.
cabins
Avaiable at most Campground and Holiday Park grounds, the cabin is a basic, yet
afforfable option. Normally just with a bed, cabins require you to make use of the
communal facilities like kitchen and showers. Also you may be required to bring
your own sleeping bag.
tourist flats
Tourist Flats are also usually located in campgrounds and holiday parks. They provide
a step up from cabins and come with their own bathroom and toilet facilities. Linen
is also provided.
Backpackers and Hostels
Backpacker accommodation provides a mixture of shared accommodation from dormitory
rooms through to double and twin rooms. Most backpackers and hostels also have a
limited number of single rooms. Some provide linen, or it is available for hire.
The bathroom, toilet, living room, dining room and kitchen facilities are shared.
Tourist Flats
Tourist Flats are also usually located in campgrounds and holiday parks. They provide
a step up from cabins and come with their own bathroom and toilet facilities. Linen

Motel and Apartments
Motels are also commonly known as motor lodges or motor inns and suit both independent
and group travellers. The majority offer fully equipped self-catering facilities
with kitchens and bathrooms and are conveniently located for those travelling by
car. Parking is usually provided right outside your door. Some motel units are able
to accommodate up to six people, although most cater for two adults or a family
of four. Accommodation options at the top end of this category are frequently referred
to as Apartments.
