Where it's at in Hammertron?

**Darryboy** · 31st May 2006, 14:44

Hey guys,

A mate and I are headed down to hammertron for a Queen's Birthday Binge weekend and I'm trying to find out a good hotel or backpackers to stay at that's near all the pubs/bars.

Appreciate any help.

What a sad way to spend QBW. My condolences.

Hitcher, I'm just keeping up a tradition with a good mate. You're free to collect stamps or read the dictionary if you'd like.

There's a backpackers at the Northern end of Victoria st, which is the main drag in Hamilton. Dunno the price. Otherwise theres the camping ground on Ruakura Rd. But that's nowhere near as handy to the pubs etc as the backpackers.

There's a lot of fudge packers there too.

There's a great place to stay about 110 k's north of Hamilton.

North end of Victoria, sweet, cheers M-T.

It would be more fun to ride a bit further and spend the long weekend in Te Kuiti. Don't forget to send stamps...

Okay, I feel it as my duty to hold up the integrity and status of Hamilton as a life long (well mostly) dweller of this city.

I challenge you to find a better nightlife spot in the country, where else have you got 160 bars and clubs per 150,000 people ???????
IN one block you have about 50 bars and clubs alone (guessing but got to be close)
Where else can you go and watch pool Que fights at 3.00 am in the morning?? (sratch that it was only once)

If its drinking and partying, sorry but the tron is the best in the country, dont you dorklanders give me the ponsonby and Viaduct as a comparision, cause I been there and its shite by comparision.

There ya go.

Now my loverly wife is the sales manager at a hotel in the same block as all of those bars so if ya want PM me and I will get you a good rate (by hotel standards that is)
I might even have to shout you a couple of drinks as well, I quiet like drinking
