Prolly mostly booked out, but you could try the Beach Road Holiday Park.
Virtually next door to the rally site. They have tourist flats & cabins.
For motel/hotel, you would have to go back into Invers. (about 10km?)

going to make a week ling trip out of it with the rally being the mid point

Will do, looks like we'll have to wait until they get their website updated though as it keeps refering to 2007 with the only update as to the dates for 2008

So far from my work we have 3 bikes and 1 car going down, with quite a few maybes joining us from our CHCH office and a few maybes here in Wellington as well.

My Plan is to head down on the Wednesday and spend a week (Wed-Wed) seeing some of the south island along with the Burt rally in the weekend

My map/plan:

Timing wise it's similar to me,route is open,depending on what the weathers doing.We'll probably go down through Gereldine if the weathers crap on the West
