Cheapest Forms Of Accommodation In New Zealand?

tents for camping nz image

Mid November I would like to go to new Zealand.

However when I went to Oz a few years ago stopping at the YHA's was very expensive over three month period.
I would say it took a good 1/3 of my total budget.

Are the YHA's in New Zealand as expensive as the ones in Australia?

Can anyone suggest any cheaper forms of accomodation?

I did hear about Couchsurfers-but it has not got a very good reputation-apparently.

Any help appreciated.

Answer
Free camping is legal in New Zealand so long as you are far enough away from civilization.... thats not going to cost you anything if you do that!
YHA hostels are expensive in NZ (similar to OZ) but there are some very good independent hostels which are a little cheaper.
Campsites are only about £10 (US$20) for 2 people sharing a tent, and they normally have really good amenities.

Is $3,200 NZD enough to attend Burning Man from NZ?

I've included flights, food, water+containers, a ticket, a tent, accomodation, car rental, fuel, extra clothes etc. that I have to buy. I've added $500 NZD for unforseen costs. This enough? I've gone through the guide on the BM website and I have everything else.

Answer
So that's about $2000 US? I think that should be enough, although with your needing to get camping gear here, it won't be the most luxurious experience. It really depends on your flight though, as that will be the big expense. I think of Burning Man as costing around $1000; for me that includes a flight from the midwestern US to Reno, rental car, Burning Man ticket, and food, water, cigarettes and alcohol (I've already got camping gear and costumes).
