Wilderness lodge studio at 7mths?

[alkel2730]

Hello everyone,

I know it's a bit of an unknown but does anyone have an idea/feeling/general best guess what wilderness is like to book for 7mths out these days for trips in May? I know in the past generally availbilty has been good as I've been before but that was before the snazzy refurb. I want to do a split stay points at WLV and free DDP (at a mod) like we did this year but if we can't get WLV then I'll do less days DDP and longer at our second choice of AKL but I've got to book the DDP part by July so I'm trying to weigh up our chances of WLV before we book the mod.

Thanks

1 bed no problem. Studios may be a push.

Bummer. I'm after a studio.

You may be successful, bang on 7 months, particularly at Boulder Ridge. I did look at Copper Creek bang on 7 months for this August (which in fairness will probably be busier) and no studios were available, just 1 beds. I didn’t check Boulder Ridge though.

Thank you. What's the difference? I didn't realise there was two. Gosh I'm out of touch!

Copper Creek is the new one, Converted from hotel rooms. Boulder Ridge as they now call it is the older dedicated DVC building. Bang on 7 months it’s touch and go for a studio but you may be OK, and I suspect if yes, it will be Boulder Ridge.

Ahh. I see. Boulder Ridge will be fine for us so I'll try! Thanks.

Good luck I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. You never know a CC may come up.
I'd also add if you waitlist it bang on 7 months should you not get it, with the waitlist to auto replace your booking, there's a reslasonable chance it will come through at that time of year.

Thank you. I'm excited to go back but we can always go to AKL again if it all goes wrong 😀

Not too bad a fall back position!
