Queenstown! Without a doubt, no question. So much to do, and it's just gorgeous. While there go to Arrowtown, it's beautiful. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Would you be driving or flying? Queenstowns a huge drive from Christchurch just for the weekend.
What about Akaroa? That is a beautiful romantic wee place? Or even Hanmer? |

We would fly, i couldnt be bothered driving lol. Akaroa is nice but nothing to do.. lol. Hanmer on the other hand would be great as it has hot pools.. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Im thinking hanmer or Qtown too. But then Rotorua sounds nice.. I think hanmer would be great because we can relax in the hot pools and its a small place.. Easy to walk places.. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Taupo and Rotorua are nice to go to but also very expensive. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| Arrowtown is nice, and it's far cheaper than Queenstown and only a small drive away. I went with DH once when he went for work. I amused myself all week long on foot around Arrowtown and didn't get bored! They have the best chocolate/lollies/fudge shop I've ever been into. Spent far too much $$ there lol |

| you could get a pamper package from the heritage or somewhere. Otherwise there was a website that had holiday homes on it and they seemed REALLY CHEAP! |

Oh Stacey that Lolly shop is really dangerous, we spent ALOT of money in there too. Their giant Jaffa fudge is sooo good!
I've never been to Hamner, check wotif.co.nz for accomodation deals. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

We usually stay at the Alpine Lodge which is one of the closest to the hot pools and shops. Not too expensive, but I'm sure you could get cheaper. You can also get the honeymoon suite which has a circular bed!
