Hey all,
 
A Melbourne fan here. Have Just booked my flight to Wellington for the opening round.
 
having never been to NZ before was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on where to stay in wellington.
 
Looking for a budget hotel type accomodation (preferabley not hostel). there'll be 3 or 4 in my crew but i know of at least another few dozen melbourne fans that are definitely coming. Would prefer to be situated near the bars/nightlife etc!
 
Will be arriving on the thursday before the game to check out the city, and leaving on the monday.
 
Looking forward to it!!
 
Cheers for any help!

being local I've not stayed in hotels in wellington, so this site might be more helpful -

http://www.wellingtonnz.com/Accommodation/

most entertainment is within walking distance of the city centre, so any hotel / motel that is in or close to the CBD should be okay.

Below $100 will probably be backpackers type accomodation - or if there's a group of you, a motel might be cheaper .... (altho' the motels tend to be in the suburbs)

Hi there,

People tend to drift into Courtenay Place after the games at stadium. So if you are wanting to be close to the nightlife (i.e. about 50 metres around the corner that is) in Courtenay Place then Cambridge Hotel is quite good.

If he is your friend he can sit with you at games preferably outside the yellow zone.

Abel Tasman is a good one. One of the Quests would be OK too. All close to the action. Do a google search for them. I'd go Abel Tasman if it was me. Here's the link http://www.abeltasmanhotel.co.nz/

Top notch theres the Intercontinental or Duxton, cheaper but still very nice theres the Novotel, 2 Mercure Hotels and the James Cook Grand Chancellor as other options.  There are the Quest apartments which are in several locations throughout the city.  You can walk right across the main city area of Welli in about half an hour and the Cambridge would be one of the furthest from the ground but by far the best position after larging it in Courtney Place after match.....drowning your sorrows!!
 
A good one is the Museum Hotel which has great harbour views and is in a primo spot.  Probably the cheapest hotel in town and positioned bang in between the Ring of Fire (Stadium) and the party district is the Ibis Hotel.
 
Let us know any questions about our great city and we'll ensure you have a fantastic weekend - apart from the result....GO THE 'NIX!!!!

Ibis,  Museum and Just Hotels all run weekend specials. Owners of Just Hotel back Team Wellington FC through Exodus Gym at present, but I would suspect a change may occur soon.
