we stayed at a lot of roadside places on the road in both nz and australia. we had a few really good ones, and then some like the pic above that were just rooms above bars. the place in the top picture was really incredible. It had an entire glass wall with doors that opened up to the outside. there was a jungle right outside the door. you could smell the jasmine vine and hear the birds that sound like wood flutes from inside the room. they had a commons room with a pool table, and a couple of trampolines outside too. it was just a skip away from the beach.
we were pretty much slaves to anywhere that had the internet. we would stop at every mcdonalds we came across because they have free wifi and that is something that is otherwise unheard of in both nz and australia. we actually had to plug our computer into the wall at some places and had dial up at others. we also stopped at hostels and paid them to let us just shower there and use their internet.
one night we found some really great a-frame cabin/hotels to stay in. we were in the middle of no where and for some reason we were a little bit creeped out, so we kept making sure the door was locked. in the morning a woman just walked into our cabin. it caught all of us off guard, and then when she re shut the door she yelled "sorry! the key was in the door". oops.
