Steal a deal at the Rugby World Cup
If you haven’t yet booked accommodation for the Rugby World Cup (RWC) in New Zealand it appears there are still bargains to be had – if you know where to look.
Mondo Travel, through an online “coupon†site called GrabOne, is asking NZ$2,499 for an 8-Night inside cabin cruise plus RWC quarter-final tickets in Wellington for two people, including all meals, ex Auckland to Auckland.
Mondo says the value of the offer is NZ$7,400, although one online respondent to the offer is asking how the value of NZ$7,400 is calculated when the original price for the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise, inclusive of RWC tickets, was $999 per person twin share.
When The Mole checked, Mondo had sold 47 RWC cruise packages on the GrabOne site.
Mondo Travel’s Gordon Bayne said balcony cabins and suites are still available for those wishing to upgrade, which indicates that the cruise has failed to sell out.
Meanwhile, Rydges has released a deal offering hotels in Rotorua, Queenstown and Auckland from $NZ107 per night, valid for stays between September 19 and December 24, 2011.
Again, The Mole checked for the prices for Rydges Auckland over the weekend of October 7-9 covering the two RWC quarter-finals in the city.
The average daily room rate for a Harbour View King Room is NZ$586, rising to NZ$726 for a suite. There is no members’ discount on these rates.
