Headstart Homestay Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hard to belive i know, but after being here 3 years we are missing the white powder. The snow that is, if only the skiers amongst us could chip in together and have a dry ski slope built at Mount Cootha, Brisbane would be more than perfect. Has anyone found a decent, well priced ski resort with good Apres ski in NZ or NSW/VIC, or a bit further a field, sugestions appreciated. What else are you guys missing from Brisbane?

Guest Sam&Si Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hi Dale & Fran, As a Kiwi I can say that the skiing in NZ is awesome. Queenstown is unbeatable but very expensive by NZ standards. Amazing Apres ski, people come from the world over to experience it. My recommendation if you're looking for a good value option would be Mount Ruapehu. Great skiing, quieter apres ski but still buzzing, nearby Taupo is fantastic for adventure sports and fishing. The only slight problem is that it's an active volcano but don't worry it hasn't erupted in about 15 years or so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sam&Si Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi guys, We've booked the Pale Pacific units on Suttons, not as nice as yours but location is great, right across from the beach so suits us, we're paying $450 per week for 3 weeks from the 20th Dec,normally $400. The 2 bed units are roughly the same price I think. The accom looks nicer than the Waltzing Matilda and the owners have been good at returning emails so that's always a bonus. Can't wait to get over there now - you wouldn't believe how bad the weather has been this summer - bank holiday and we had to have the heating on?!
