GoughyandJoey Sarah Gough Post Count: 12 Msg: #1 37 weeks ago, March 28th 2009 | We're planning to be in Queenstown for 2 months (July and August 2009) to snowboard at Coronet Peak/The Remarkables and given we are there for an extended period of time we figure it will be more economical to rent a flat (or room in a property) than pay for hostels/holiday accommodation for the whole time. Does anyone have any advice on how easy it is to arrange a short term let and how to go about it - e.g. which agencies to use or places to post ads. | Jo Trouble Jo McCarthy Post Count: 3109 Msg: #2 37 weeks ago, March 29th 2009 | Hi Sarah and Joe, | Welcome to TravelBlog. Trademe.co.nz is a popular site for accomodation searches. Jealous of your trip - have a great time down south!

Are you aware of any other good ways to track down short term lets in Queenstown? | Jo Trouble Jo McCarthy Post Count: 3109 Msg: #4 37 weeks ago, March 29th 2009 | You can still do searches, and I think most of the rental ads have contact details at the bottom. I just checked a couple without logging in. | I think there's a couple of other similar (prob not quite as popular) sites, will have a look. A Google search will give you more info too.
