Step 2 - Accommodation Options
You decide which type of accommodation you require
Choose from self-catering motels or fully serviced hotels. You can combine these and have a few days of each
Golden Chain Motel
Option 1 - Self Catering Motels
If you select self-catering motels you can choose blue or gold standard – or a combination of both. Blue level is easy on the budget and offers clean comfortable motels, generally 3 - 3.5 star quality. Gold motels offer a little more in the way of creature comforts, decor, amenities, \outlooks etc and are generally 4 star level.
For self catering accommodation in quality Golden Chain motels, choose the number of nights and standard of accommodation you require from either the blue or gold price categories.
Option 2 - Full Service Hotels
If you select full service hotels you can choose silver, gold or platinum level – or a combination. Silver hotels offer clean, comfortable standard accommodation and are generally 3 - 3.5 star. Gold hotels offer superior quality rooms with excellent services and facilities and include some resort locations. They are usually at 4 star level. For a truly first class experience, platinum hotels are excellent 4 - 4+ star properties in resort locations with consistently high level of facilities and services.
Choose the number of nights and standard of accommodation you require from either silver, gold or platinum price categories.
