miraclebabycaw Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 We will be coming to Melbourne for the cricket world cup next year for the SA vs India match and are looking for suggestions on accommodation. 2 adults and 2 kids. We are driving up from Adelaide so want to stay outside the city and just catch public transport if possible. Can't do anything frightfully expensive. Any suggestions on where to stay?

RYLC Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Have you heard of airbnb? You rent from a private person - either a room or the whole house.I've done it in Sydney and Sunshine Coast and it is fantastic value with all the added benefits of having a local to help with info.A friend did it in France - rented a tiny apartment from a girl who met them at the train, had maps, metro cards and recommendations for her favourite local restaurants. It is an awesome service.http://www.airbnb.com.au/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miraclebabycaw Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thanks Crisplet will check it out.Hansa - 3 nights..Dunno what prices I expect but hoping to keep it under $150 a night. Pref self catering place. We haven't stayed over anywhere really in Australia (been here 18mos) but figured 150 should be ok if we can get it. Of course cheaper would be better but ja...
