Where me, Amanda and Angie are staying!
It's a while away from Geddon, but we're probably going to hire a taxi and split the costs. THOUGH IF MORE PEOPLE STAY THERE WE COULD LOOK AT GETTING A TAXI-VAN AND THEN IT WOULD BE LESS

Y/N/M?

It's $25/night and we're staying friday, saturday and sunday nights, leaving monday night (so mandie can get home by Tuesday~)

Abella Court Motel, Greenlane Road, just opposite the Asb/Geddon site! 24 hour reception for those who don't end up with the keys. If we get five people per room at $150 a room, then it's $30/room/night. A little more than a backpackers, but no bus fare each day to the venue. Also any time you need to repair a costume, change, stow your purchases, sleep off a migraine or what ever it is just across the road. Plenty of room to change. If we get enough people we will segregate the rooms so we don't have to wait for somewhere to change. And full kitchen, so we can buy food, no crap tasting unhealthy $6 a small pottle of chips. And since it is so close you can take smaller bags to geddon. We will have our own rooms so gear will be secure, no need for lockers during the day. Also very convenient stumbling distance after the ball.

Downside (vs backpackers) is that we need five per room to keep the cost down. Max of 20 people at that price so we can't host all of CNZ!

You can state interest, but I need 100% confirmed bookings please.

Bonus you get the lovely FRED to entertain you with a 24hr non stop juggling show!

(Legal disclaimer, parts of the above statement may not be 100% true.)

I think we up to four now?

Dear Glenn

Thank you for your enquiry.

Yes, the family units discussed with us are available for 23rd to 26th October(3 nights)

(Note 4 rooms=20 people max.)

The each unit has 1 queen and 1 single bed in lounge area, and 2 single beds in a bedroom

and also has its own full kitchen and large bathroom(no bathtub).

All the units are upstairs.

The nightly rate is $150 each for 5 people.

If you let us have a list of people(by gender or couple) or your allocation plan for them, I will do my best to assist you.

Our check-in time is 2 pm but I am sure one of the rooms will be ready by 11 AM so your group can drop thier bags off

in the room or we can keep them in our storage room at reception at check-in or after check-out.

(checkout 10am on Monday, so trying to avoid having to take all our bags to geddon.)

I suppose you will travel by plane so the best way to get here is to take Supershuttle.

The bus drivers will be waiting outside of the airport and will take you to our motel. The fare is about $25.

If you have more questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

Betty Kim

By Reno. 17/07/09, 07:36 am

That's for a starter.

By Minato_mori. 17/07/09, 08:30 am

thats insane. but you take the risk i guess

people arlready know that its cheap and so theres obviously something wrong with them

like nakedbus! tori had to get in contact with them, calling is EXPENSIVE
and so we had to go internet, then we could not get the item back til the
next day as it was doing a trip back to chch -__________________-

im starting to hate cheap things

By **JVCA**. 17/07/09, 08:55 am

There's always a catch, really. The biggest problem with Jetstar is the delays - a lot of people who were denied entry to flights it was because they were late - sometimes because they were still waiting in line to be processed at the check in time, but they could have avoided that if they turned up early.

By Olli. 17/07/09, 09:19 am

I'm looking at it now!

Thanks Reno!! ^^

By Mandie_Chan. 17/07/09, 09:21 am

ah well... guess thats what life is like when you want to get there cheaply >_<

By Olli. 17/07/09, 09:25 am

^^;
Cheap flights = more to spend on anime and manga ^^

By **JVCA**. 17/07/09, 09:26 am

Keep an eye on http://www.grabaseat.co.nz as well - each day they put up new cheap flights, so I always check it daily in case there's anything useful to me. Very Happy

By Mandie_Chan. 17/07/09, 09:27 am

i only ever buy 1 thing at geddon... usually at furuba manga lol

By Olli. 17/07/09, 09:30 am
