Hotel accommodation can be quite expensive, but is not extortionate by international standards. It is advisable to book well in advance, whatever the category of accommodation. There are a few air-conditioned hotels of international standard and a range of inexpensive hotels and motels. The top hotels charge from US$110 a night. Hotels in the mid-range charge from US$60 and tend to provide the bare minimum.

There are several mission guest houses with both cooking and laundry facilities about 4km (2 miles) from the city centre.

There are few official sites. Camping is free but caution should be exercised when choosing where to camp. Specialist operators run sites near national parks.

The YMCA is cheap, but often full, and is located on the corner of Broad and McDonald Streets.
