Laundry Facilities

SteveR9749

Which hotels on the Aus/NZ trip have laundry facilities? For the hotels where you must send laundry out, how quick is the turnaround and what are the approximate costs? Thanks.

Please read my notes on the NZ part of the tour, your cheapest bet is to send a bag as soon as you get to the Copthorne, took about 36 hours to return

Hello SteveR9749,

All the hotels on this itinerary have valet laundry service. The Sails in the Desert in Yulara, N Territory there are coin operated machines. British is right, the Copthorne Hotel in Wellington is your most inexpensive option.

Hope this helps,
Emily

In addition to those laundry facilities mentioned:

. The is a coin-operated facility near the InterContinental in Sydney as well as a cleaners [Prestige (also called Elegance )Cleaners, I think] in the alley near the Intercontinental. For roughly $25 a bag, the cleaners will wash and fold your clothes. We were charged $45 for 3 bags.

. Te Anau hotel has a coin-operated laundry.

. Coin-operated laundry near the convenience store in Queenstown; a very quick walk from the Sofitel.

I believe there are others as well. Bottom line - easy enough for you to do your laundry at a very reasonable rate or use the hotel laundry services.

Tauck - the Tour Directors know where all the laundry facilities are. Suggest you poll the directors and share the list with future travelers.

Just back from this trip and the Reef Hotel in Palm Cove has coin op laundry, ditto Te Anau. Used them both!
PS You're in for a treat - wonderful trip!
