What do you think I am, a millionnaire? LOL.

We are trying to get friends to take her for the two nights but no luck yet.

743049 2009-01-29 23:12:00 You could check out YMCA Accommodation.

Do a bit of googling for free or cheap things to do in Auckland.
What age group is she?
Museums are free, maybe art galleries as well.
Walking is free.
Has she been there before?
Will she have the use of a vehicle?
Even if she doesn't have a lot of spending money, window shopping is free.
There is a free city circuit bus.
Am pretty sure they still have those hop on and off explorer buses that go around the main touristy places. I think the fare for a whole day would be worth it.
