Guest Houses

You consider yourself versed in the art of compromise. Anyone who’s planned a family holiday had better be. The kids want non-stop fun, the in-laws demand delicious meals, but what do you want? Space. Luxurious, blissful room to stretch out. Remember last time, when the whole crew crowded into a hotel room to save money? Snoring kept everyone up all night and more than one person woke up with an elbow to the ribs. Bleary-eyed and hair askew, you swore, “Never again”. Keep that oath you made to yourself. Nothing will serve you better than guest house accommodation when the fam wants to be together, but not, like, that much together.

Guest houses are sanity savers, and let us count the ways. One, togetherness is just better when everyone has a place to sit. Two, home-cooked meals (in a real kitchen, bless) keep picky eaters on schedule and in their comfort zone. Three, crowds are fine at theme parks, but being able to retreat to your own space at the end of the day should be mandatory, no matter where you are. Four, the space-to-cost ratio is super high. Need we go on? Oh, we can….

Whether you’re at the beach, in the city, or on an adventure of another kind, budget guest houses offer the comforts of home without cleaning you out. After exhilarating days exploring or sunning, shutting the door on the outside world feels just as good as it does at home.

Saying, “Peace out!” to routine and heading on holiday should be a way reclaim your time, not pile on more work. Luckily, you don’t have to sacrifice your sanity or plan all the details months in advance. Trust that lastminute.co.nz can sort you out when you’re ready. Doesn’t it feel good to do what you want when you want? Yeah, we know it does.
