The winter season of this season has already begun.

This time, I will talk about accommodation by saying "Let's go to New Zealand this summer! Part XNUMX".
There are various accommodation types in New Zealand.
A deluxe hotel where you can feel like sightseeing in a tourist destination, backpackers and youth hostels rooted in the local city, where backpackers from all over the world stay, and ordinary people in New Zealand use it for holidays and travel. There are various environments and prices such as motels and flats where you can live with locals.
Of course, I come to New Zealand in the middle of winter for snowboarding, skiing, and winter sports, so I think most people want to live a calm and comfortable life while keeping prices down if possible.
I think that there are advantages and disadvantages in every accommodation genre, but in the situation where the advantages of low backpacker prices have diminished due to the influence of electricity bills and inflation over the past few years, the prices and advantages of motels are relatively noticeable. I am.The price of a backpacker in a shared room is around $ XNUMX which is the average value for the past few years (depending on the area and time), but there are advantages and disadvantages unique to a shared room, and if you stay for a week or more, the shared room , Shared kitchens, showers, and toilets often run out of physical and mental leeway, but motels are mostly equipped with TVs, kitchens, toilets, and showers in rooms with only individuals and friends. It has been.
This time, I would like to introduce what kind of hotel the motel is by taking the motel called Fariway Motel in Wanaka as an example.
Fairway motel parking space
An accommodation facility called Motel is basically an accommodation facility where you can park your car near the accommodation room and have most of the facilities.
Recently, the prices of rental cars are getting cheaper, so it's more common to share a rental car with friends rather than going up to the ski resort by bus as before.Therefore, it can be said that the Japanese car rental ownership rate has been very high in recent years.
Fairway Motel located at the entrance of the city of Wanaka. Many Japanese people like this environment and become repeaters.
Of course, most of the motels are located in the city or at the entrance of the city, and even if you stay for a long time, you can buy them at the supermarket in the city, go out for a drink at night, and access is easier than you think.And towels, sheets, shampoo, soap, etc. are all from the beginning, and they are changed every day to clean the inside of the room.This environment is possible with a shared room and most shared backpackers for just XNUMX NZD a day.
Fairway motel studio room
And there are various types in the room.
Since local people often use motels on business trips, there are many single rooms, such as rooms for XNUMX people such as friends and couples, group rooms for XNUMX to XNUMX friends, and even more beautiful and apartment-like. There are apartment rooms where you can live as if you were in a room.

Bedroom in the apartment room
Most motel rooms have a kitchenette or a large kitchen, so you can shop at the supermarket and prepare your own meals.
This will save you a lot of food, and you can buy rice, some Japanese food, and seasonings at New Zealand supermarkets.Moreover, Fariway motel will lend you a rice cooker if you ask, so you can also cook Japanese food.This is a very important point when you actually stay.
The apartment room also has a large kitchen and a private roundley
And the Internet environment is a problem for most people in New Zealand and other countries.Even a Japanese telecommunications company's overseas packet flat rate is about 2000 yen per day, so it is expensive and can not be used, but contracting with a local telecommunications company is expensive and hurdles are high.It is easy if you have a SIM-free mobile phone that is not tied to a telecommunications company, but I think that most of the contracts are with Japanese mobile companies, so the SIM is locked and you cannot use the local SIM. ..
Therefore, Japanese people often go to internet cafes, but the Fairway motel can be used free of charge by Japanese people (there is a limit on the amount of data used per day).With this, if you add the backpacker fee and the internet cafe fee, it is almost the same as a motel.The motel is the most valuable considering that the price is almost the same in total, the room is warm and clean, the privacy is protected and the car can be parked in front of you.
And the owner of Fairway motel is a very friendly and kind couple.I'm dying to snowboard, but my work is ...
I often lamented.They are always ready to answer local advice and questions.
