In-Depth Information
( 06-356 8880; www.atthehub.co.nz ; 10 King St; r per night/week from $85/350; ) There are lots of stu-
dents in Palmy, and lots of them stay here during the term. But plenty of rooms are usually
available for travellers too. Book a serviced en-suite double unit with kitchenette, or a
simple student shoebox (also with en suite). Great location, great value.
Palmerston North Holiday Park
( 06-358 0349; www.palmerstonnorthholidaypark.co.nz ; 133 Dittmer Dr; campsites/cabins from $35/45, d unit $80;
) About 2km from the Square, off Ruha St, this shady park with daisy-speckled lawns
has a bit of a boot-camp feel to it, but it's quiet, affordable and right beside Victoria Es-
planade gardens. Great for kids.

Café de Paris

( 06-355 2130; www.cafedeparisinn.co.nz ; 267 Main St; s/d $60/80; ) It ain't Montmartre, but this
friendly, 1893 boozer three minutes' walk from the Square has a warren of surprisingly
decent pub rooms upstairs, all with TV, en suite and rather kooky furnishings. Good
value! Limited off-street parking.
HOTEL $
Plum Trees Lodge
( 06-358 7813; www.plumtreeslodge.co.nz ; 97 Russell St; s/d incl breakfast from $150/185; ) In a flat-grid
town with more motels than seems plausible, this secluded lodge comes as sweet relief.
It's brilliantly designed using recycled timbers from demolition sites, with raked timber
ceilings punctuated with skylights, and a balcony set among swaying boughs. Romantic
nights slide lazily into breakfast - a sumptuous hamper of fresh fruit, croissants, jams,
eggs, cheese, coffee and juice.

( 06-358 3888, 0800 115 262; www.fitzcastlemotel.co.nz ; 124 Fitzherbert Ave; d $110-195; ) It looks un-
apologetically like a Tudor castle from outside, but inside it's more like an intimate hotel.
Fourteen immaculate rooms with cork-tiled bathroom floors and quality carpets, plenty of
trees, friendly staff and small kitchens in some units. Free wi-fi and laundry.
