I booked under the NZNOG group last night and there were rooms left. I wouldn't be surprised though at the lack of accommodation generally in CHCH with earthquake related contractors booking up rooms months in advance. -----Original Message----- From: nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Mark Foster Sent: Friday, 6 January 2012 12:12 p.m. To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] Alternatives to... Commodore Airport Hotel Can anyone confirm that they've spoken to the Commodore, specified the NZNOG Group Ref, and had it confirmed there's no rooms left? It's not just a case of rooms outside of those that're blocked out for NZNOG being all-out? (Seems surprisingly early in the piece for them to be booked out) On 06/01/12 11:44, Ewen McNeill wrote:

And some are booked at http://www.airportpalmsmotelchch.co.nz/ as well. Mention NZNOG on the enquiry form, am pretty sure they will still have rooms.
In case it is of help to others, my notes from "nearby" motels (walking distance if you don't mind walking, some of the ones further down the list are a pretty decent hike and/or seemed to have "booked out" issues, so YMMV). I booked at the Airport Palms, and as of earlier this morning it sounded as though they still had at least one more option for the Wed/Thu nights I wanted (ie, in addition to the one I booked).
