New Zealand's economy is heavily reliant on the tourist dollar, so competition is fierce, and it's not difficult to find a suitable place to stay, but you still need to make sure that wherever you choose to stay, it suits your needs.

New Zealand is a country of spectacular scenic vistas, and one of the small joys of life is sitting down in your lodgings at the end of a busy day, sipping on a glass of local wine or a beer, and gazing out across the stunning landscape.
So your choice of New Zealand accommodation is a vital part of your holiday planning, and indeed choosing the right accommodation for your particular needs and budget can make or break your holiday.
The best advice I can give you is set yourself a budget (and remember that New Zealand has a very favourable exchange rate-check here with our Currency Calculator) then research the various New Zealand accommodation options to see who provides the best value for money. If you are like us, then a room with a view is important (particularly in New Zealand), but for you that might not be important.
Things To Consider When Choosing New Zealand Accommodation
* Cost-is your New Zealand accommodation within your budget? Remember that you only have a certain amount of money to spend, so be carefull to stay within your budget.
* Location-how close is your New Zealand accommodation to necessary services, attractions, restaurants, supermarkets etc. If your aim is to have a relaxing holiday, then you probably don't want to be hopping into the car for a drive to town every time you need something. Verify the location of your accommodation and satisfy yourself that it suits your holiday needs.
* Facilities-what facilities does your New Zealand accommodation have, and how does it compare with similar accommodation? Do you want a kitchen and laundry in your accommodation? Do you need a gym? Perhaps access to the internet is important. What about a tour desk to book tours for you? Or under cover parking, or private bathroom facilities? Are meals available on site? Can you get cash onsite if needed?
* Reputation-does your New Zealand accommodation have a good reputation? Can you see testimonials or reviews from previous customers? When you search using our search box, you can read reviews from previous customers of each hotel.
HANDY TIP-If you use our booking engine (see links below) then you can read customer reviews for various types of accommodation before you decide to book.
* Also find out what the cancellation policy is just in case there are problems. Do you lose all or part of any deposit? Does your travel insurance cover any losses?
* It is also wise to check the availability of your New Zealand accommodation in peak times, such as the snow season and school holidays.
