Queenstown is a dream destination for adventure lovers, nature enthusiasts, and foodies alike. However, with its world-class attractions and high demand, accommodation costs can add up quickly. Fortunately, there are ways to enjoy Queenstown without breaking the bank. Here are some practical tips to save on your stay while still experiencing the best of this vibrant town.
1. Book Direct & Save
Many travellers rely on third-party booking platforms, but booking directly with Element Escapes unlocks exclusive deals. By avoiding platform fees, you gain access to direct booking discounts, special promotions, and added perks such as early check-in or late check-out.
2. Travel During Off-Peak Seasons
Queenstown is a year-round destination, but accommodation prices fluctuate with demand. Peak seasons (winter ski season from June to August and summer from December to February) come with higher rates. For the best savings, visit during the shoulder seasons (March-May and September-November). You’ll enjoy great weather, stunning landscapes, and fewer crowds—all at a more affordable price.
3. Stay in a Holiday Home
Hotels can be convenient, but they often come with extra costs for dining and limited space. Staying in a holiday home like those at Element Escapes allows you to:
- Cook your own meals instead of dining out for every meal.
- Enjoy more space for groups or families without needing to book multiple rooms.
- Access laundry facilities, reducing the need for excessive packing and baggage fees.
4. Take Advantage of Weekly & Monthly Rates
If you’re planning an extended stay, choosing accommodation with discounted long-term rates can make a big difference. Element Escapes offers special pricing for stays of a week or longer, making it an ideal choice for remote workers, digital nomads, or long-term travellers seeking comfort at a lower cost.
5. Book in Advance or Stay Flexible for Last-Minute Deals
Booking well in advance guarantees the best rates during peak season. Alternatively, if your schedule is flexible, you might score last-minute deals on unsold properties.
6. Use Free or Low-Cost Transport Options
Another way to save is by choosing accommodation with excellent transport links. While not all Element Escapes properties are within walking distance of local attractions, many are near public transport options, making it easy to get around. Queenstown’s public transport and e-scooters provide affordable ways to explore.
👉 Tip: We’ve teamed up with Evolve Rentals and RYD to offer exclusive discounts for our guests, making transportation even more affordable.
