National BIKEOI - FINAL STAGE ACCOMMODATION

[Mom]

READ POSTS 2 & 3 FOR DETAILS

Accommodation for bikers heading to Wellington has been tentatively arranged in a couple of places in Palmerston North on Monday 16th November. We have beds in shared units/cabins that require you to bring a sleeping bag and towel, having maximum heads on pillows these should cost you between $19 and $23 per person for the night. There are 150 of these available. Obviously the more that bunk together the cheaper it gets.

Tent sites are $30 per night for 2 people and are additional to the 150 mentioned above. Most units/cabins have kitchens/bathroom/toilets in them. There is a good communal kitchen/BBQ area too. Looks like a nice place, hopefully I will be able to attach the info in more detail to this post.

Then we have motel type beds, no bedding etc required. I have arranged a block booking cost of $33 per night for these beds. There is a roast meal on offer too for the sum of $10 each, you may have to walk/ride a short distance to get to your meal if you are not staying in the hotel providing it. There are 200 beds available at this price, it also invloves sharing and will be more expensive individually if you chose not to share.

At this stage I am really looking to see who needs a bed, I may have to do some more talking if you guys fill the beds I have already, no doubt the prices will be about the same. Also happy to find couple only type units too.

Ok, so the poll is up. It is a public poll, and obviously only allows for you to be counted. If you have a partner/husband/wife/child you are planning to pillion or know is attending that wants/needs a bed can you please post in here as well.

FEILDING OPTION TOO

Thanks to kevie
I chased up the owner of the Feilding Holiday Park (Colin) and he has agreed to charge only $20 a night per person (sharing the cabins) so I think from a rough count up he can cater for about 60 people. You will have to bring a sleeping bag.
he has rooms and cabins and about 6 spare caravans and also tent sites available for the Monday night, they also have a 17 bed hall that at this point is available.
The rooms and cabins sleep 4 persons. you will need to be willing to share.
The camp has full kitchen and abolution facilities available.
The camp is located at 5 Arnott Street in Feilding
To book ring on 06-3235623 and remember to tell him you are part of the ACC protest run. their website is www.feildingholidaypark.co.nz

[sunhuntin]

good on ya!
im really impressed with the way people have come into this. hotels and backpackers with accom, the ferries giving discount crossings etc. well done to those kiwis!

[Ixion]

Really should be multichoice. I can handle any of them if necessary. Funding is not such an issue for me as for some (cue poor impoverished old man etc), so I'd go for the motel, just saves having to lug a sleeping bag.

But anythings good by me

I cant get numbers indications from multi choice though.
Hmmmmmm how does one edit a poll?

Dunno how you edit it. Just add two extra lines : "Any off the above" anbd "anything in a building" (some folk may not be keen on tents". Maybe a third extra line "Is there a soft ditch handy"

[Reckless]

You don't need numbers!
Parliament grounds is huge!
Plenty of room for 5,000 bikers!!
How can they refuse if 5,000 of us ask real nice on the night!! LOL!!

[DMCD]

I don't mind tenting it but I and concerned about the limited storage capacity of the common bike, so sharing a motel sounds like the better choice to me.

[Connor]

I have two beds and a couch available , and can provide secure parking , PM me if your interested.Phil

[Mom]

Thanks for this Phil, can you do me the ultimate favour please? Post this in the thread asking for people to offer up acommodation. I am actually attempting to put out what I have in this thread, for those travelling and wanting to stay where the big ride is.

I have reserved a couple of posts at the start of this thread to list the other offers that have been received.

People have been so generous with their hospitality, the weary travellers will appreciate them.

[Paul in NZ]

Any of you rabble need a hideout after you set the beehive on fire?

[AD345]

is there any chance of getting a map as to where to accommodation and/or likely gathering points in town might be?
The reason I ask is cos while I'll be getting my own accommodation I'd like to be able to meet up with folk at the end of the day

quite happy to do a map,but have no actual data to do so.Perhaps a logical choice would be to contact one of the major players in the manawatu tag game.Would have much more local knowldedge than I

[Mom]

I am going to post up all details of what I have organised shortly, I have a couple of posts at the top of this thread reserved. I have beds in Palmerston North/Wellington/Turangi on tap. There are also many KB free beds on offer. I am trying to get these into some sort of format that can be managed? so that some poor bugger does not end up with 10 guests when they can only bed 2.

I am working as fast as I can, what with fundraising today at the Auckland rally and holding down a job, getting my bike back on the road and a tiny bit of life thrown in for good measure, I am a little bit short of hours at the moment. Maybe tomorrow I will get a few spare hours to get this up here.

Sorry it is taking so long

EDIT: I will do maps, contact numbers, bed details etc in my posts
