See http://www.onedollarrooms.co.nz/onedollarrooms/

On sale tomorrow for dates May through July 2008.

Auckland
Hamilton
Rotorua
Wellington
Christchurch
Queenstown

That absolutely kills the Accor $75 sale here for Easter.
In that case the deals were best at regional properties or low-end properties in the capitals. Ibis Melbourne was only worth $75... :D

KiwiFlyer, are there any wothwhile properties in the latter thre locations?

Will it be a website-meltdown sale like we're familiar with, for the local LCC airlines? ;)

Best of luck to prospective visitors; I'm quite tempted!

Wow, great offer. Certainly tempted to go.

[mods pls delete, wrong thread]

fab stuff. this gives me a chance to stay a bit longer in NZ on my next CMB run.
What time does this go on sale? Got to keep in mind the massive time difference with the West...

apparently it just started 3 mins ago...and is melting down. :(

got it working.
But there is no availability outside May.
If you can travel in May, some dates work very nicely and you can stay 4-5 nights in a row at $1 apiece with a bit of hotel-hopping.

They're all sold now in Auckland, now. Including the Hotel Formule 1...

When does the next sale, for Rotorua, begin?

Who has signed up to the mailing list? ;)

Next sale is Wellington, 158h from now, which makes it Thursday 3rd April 7am AEST, or Thursday 3rd April 10am WLG time (GMT+13 DST) ...

futaris, did you bite?

Did any FTers get a room on the sale? The EK $99+ sale, a Do and this sale was tempting. :eek: :eek:
QF009's Trans Tasman Quickie (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=807119)Trip Report is a great read, if you need any encouragement. ;)

Not so interested in Wellington, as we were just there at the beginning on Feb. Queenstown next week Thursday at 10am GMT+13 / 7am GMT+10 seems like a good deal though.

Did alright on that one. 6 nights in a row, for NZ$6. I already had dates lined up and knew what the availability was at each hotel before the sale started and the rooms were available from the hotel pages, 5 mins before 10am GMT+12 / 8am GMT+10.

Thanks futaris, I receiuved that last night, too.

Two nights at the Grand Mercure The Vintage, Hunter Valley for $100 might be a good deal, if the 90 min (+15mins waiting around beforehand) sales pitch is not too painful.
