SASydneysider Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hi all,A SAFrican couple and their twin sons (10 or 12 years old I think) will be arriving on Saturday (18 March) in Sydney on route to Charleville (Queensland). They can only get a connecting flight to Charleville on Sunday and would need one night's cheap accommodation in Sydney or Brisbane. Ideally the accommodation needs to be close to the airport (Sydney or Brisbane) or with transport readily available.Suggestions will be much appreciated.Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riekie Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 As far as I know, there is a hotel AT Sydney airport, but don't know their price range. If they want to stay in the city, they should consider the transport costs from the airport & back (quite expensive) when comparing the price of city accommodation vs airport hotel. Cheapest way would be a backpacker hostel. Go to www.yha.com.au - there's heaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASydneysider Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Thanks Rieke, I've let them know.A very handy website for finding accommodation at short notice is www.wotif.com . We often use this site when we decide at the last minute to go away for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Larry Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Otherwise check out Wotif. They have the whole range of accommodation. The Hotel Y (ex-YWCA) is also worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASydneysider Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) Thanks Larry.In the end the couple decided to fly with Emirates from Jhb via Dubai. This will result in a couple of hours wait at Brisbane airport to pick up the flight to Charleville. Doing this saves them R9 500 and no accommodation in Sydney or Brisbane will be required!

Riekie Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'm glad they could get it arranged that way! Good luck to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
