Wellington NZ in october - URGENT

Hi
Two  friends are coming from Tahiti for the 1/4 final rugby world cup  (two nights 8th and 9th of october) in Wellington
It seems to be really difficult to fin d vacancy in Hotel
Please any solution or idea ?
Thank you
Michael

I think the best idea is to advertise for bed and breakfast in the local supermarkets.

From what I read, most hotels are already booked and asking big prices for rooms during the world cup.

Good luck.

I have a friend in the area who might be able to rent out his spare room. Shall I ask? (BTW, there are 2 small children in the house)

Good morning, yes please could you ask your  friend ?
Thank you
Michael

So sorry, mate! With the arrival of their second child, they are feeling a bit swamped right now. If things get more comfortable for them before Oct, I'll let 'cha know.
