Budget accommodation in Queenstown, New Zealand

  
Jacinta: Hi, Lewis—it’s Jacinta here.
Lewis: Oh, hi, Jacinta. I was just going to call you. I was thinking we ought to do something about accommodation for our trip to Queenstown.
Jacinta: Yeah, actually that’s just why I rang you. I’ve been looking on the Internet—there was one place that looked OK called Travellers’ Lodge, but when I checked availability for January when we’re planning to go I found it was fully booked.
Lewis: Right—well, we’d better do something now I suppose.
Jacinta: I’ve actually got a list up here on the computer— there’s one place called Bingley’s that looks possible. It’s 19.75 dollars a night—that’s US dollars, they quote all the prices in US dollars.
Lewis: So that’s about 26 or 27 New Zealand dollars. That’s OK. That’ll be in a dormitory, is it?
Jacinta: Yeah—they say 8-bed dorms. And the hostel’s right in the town centre and they’ve got a cafe... they have theme nights every weekend, whatever that means...
Lewis: Oh, you know, like certain sorts of food and music... and people might wear special clothes like that Egyptian evening we went to last year.
Jacinta: Oh, OK. What else... they’ve got a sundeck area, and then all the usual things—Internet access and so on.
Lewis: Sounds good. Was there anywhere else?
Jacinta: Yeah, a couple more places. There’s one called Chalet Lodge which is just 18.00 US dollars—that’s for a bed in a 12-bed dorm. They do single and family rooms as well. It looks as if it’s a bit out of town... says it’s got an alpine setting... a ’quiet’ alpine setting. What do you think?
Lewis: Mmm, not sure...
Jacinta: Oh, but actually it’s not far out at all. It says 10 minutes’ walk from town, so... Oh, and it says it’s ’children friendly’.
Lewis: Mmm. I’m not so sure about that. What about the third place?
Jacinta: Aah. That’s called Globetrotters. Let’s see, they do private rooms, or 5-bed dorms for 18.50—it’s in the centre, just by the lake... and that includes breakfast.
Lewis: Didn’t the other two?
Jacinta: I don’t think so. They didn’t mention it, so probably not. Oh, and it says something about a free skydive... wow!
Lewis: Don’t know if I’m all that keen on jumping out of aeroplanes...
Jacinta: Oh, actually what it says is you can win a chance to do a skydive. They give one away every day to one of the guests.
Lewis: Well, if I win it, you can do it... Anyway, do they have room?
Jacinta: Yeah, I checked the availability. Shall I go ahead and book there then?
Lewis: Fine.
Jacinta: I was looking at what there is to do, too... there are lots of sites offering deals for adventure sports—ah, I suppose we have to do a bungee jump.
Lewis: Why?
Jacinta: Well, it’s Queenstown where they more or less started it as a sport.
Lewis: You can... if you really want to jump off the side of a bridge with an elastic rope tied round your ankles. I’ll watch!
Jacinta: OK. So what do you want to do?
Lewis: As far as adventure sports go? I was talking to someone who went white-water rafting there—he said it was really awesome. They drive you up the Shotover River and then you come down on a rubber raft through the white-water rapids, where the river’s really narrow and fast, and end up going through a tunnel nearly 200 metres long. I think it’s quite expensive, though.
Jacinta: Oh. I’m on for that if you are.
Lewis: Cool!
Jacinta: The other thing you can do is the jet-boat ride... that sounded just a lot of noise though. It’s basically just whizzing round on the river on a very fast boat, isn’t it?
Lewis: My friend did that as well—he said it was a bit touristy but worth it, I’ll give it a go. You go right up the river canyon. He said the drivers were really skilful. But I don’t mind going on my own.
Jacinta: But there’s lots to do as well as the whole commercial adventure bit... we ought to do some trekking. The scenery round there’s amazing, I don’t want to miss that. The place to start’s Glenorchy, apparently—about 40 minutes’ drive, that’s where lots of the wilderness trails begin.
Lewis: OK, I’ll pack my walking boots. I’d better start getting in training. I haven’t done anything except sit at my desk for months. Now, is there anything else we need to decide?
