Accommodation

Accommodation
We do not offer weekly accommodation so we recommend organising your own accommodation to cover Sunday to Saturday* (in case of the weather closure, Wednesday or Saturday may be used as a contingency day) of the camp that you'd like to attend. There may be options closer to the time where we have rooms or beds available for your week of training, but we will not be able to confirm until closer to the start of the winter in NZ.

Lake Wanaka Website has great options for all types of accommodation like Hotels, Motels, Lodges, Camping grounds etc in Wanaka.We have been recommending Te Wanaka Lodge, Wanaka Hotel,Bella Vista, Brookvale, Lakeside Apartments, The Moorings for weekly camps as these accommodation are in the CBD and easy access to pick up points of transport to the mountain if you are looking to use our transport.Alternatively, you can find Airbnb as well.

Staying in Queenstown
Unless you have your own car, we do not recommend staying in Queenstown. There is a shuttle running from Queenstown to Treble Cone - but this does not arrive in time for your training and this will disturb the early morning training for everyone.

Minimum Level 2 ski qualification
