What's your budget? That's going to afffect things. Check some of the hotels rates - they run some good specials at times - especially off peak and non holidays and weekends.

less than $200... got suggested duxton and museum hotel, but im looking at around $300 for ONE night, lol. thats too much, even if the places are lovely.

That's pretty close to Mermaids, however I'm not sure how warm the water in that tank is, judging by the erect nipples. Sorry, ummmm, with spa bath..... hmmmm, will have a think about it.

Apparently. Not too sure about the Opera bit though. Surely there's somewhere more exciting to go than Wellington.

Accomodation depends on what sort of thing you are looking for. As has been said the Duxton's probably the closest. A search on Mr Gore's interwebby would be a good choice.

Intercontinental is slightly further away than Duxton but you can get a spa bath room with separate shower with twin shower heads - we stay there at times when we can't be bothered with the trip home and they do good weekend package deals - valet parking too. Also you get free rubber duckys to share the spa with you and a few now grace the cabinet in our ensuite at home.

Intercontinental would be about an easy 10 minute walk from the Opera House. You OK with directions?
