The Boss Lady and I did a seven week tour in Oz a few years back ... up and down the Pacific Highway on a hired HD bag of bits!  

We rode it from the Blue Mountains south of Sydney up to The Rain Forests of Queensland and back via Alice and the outback 

Just rolled into town and bagged a room for all our overnighters in YHA Hostels ... I guess $10 a night on average ... not 5. 4 or even 3 star ... but its only a shower, some grub and a bed you need 

Join the YHA in the UK and then wave your card at the bloke in the x-army shorts ... Simples 

Tip:    Don't hire a bike until you've seen it ..... Sport !!

YHA is worth joining, the digs I've stayed in have been tidy and cheap, and the membership is worth free wifi and a few dollars off the room.
I'm planning on staying there next month when I go a wee tour about, there are cheaper hostels, but worth paying the extra 10 sheckles so that you get a decent nights kip.
Did a wee three day stint in Wellington last month, was slap bang in the middle of town so plenty of pubs/restaurants and was a short walk from the tourist bits.

You got dates sorted out?

Give us a shout when you're in Auckland and we can grab a beer or three.
