Mara Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 In the Doncaster area, I do not think you will easily find temporary, furnished, accommodation.Hotel Accommodation - scroll down to Melbourne Easthttp://www.needitnow.com.au/needitnow/need...&SearchBox=R117Caravan Park - Doncaster Easthttp://www.yellowpages.com.au/search/postS...r+VIC&x=25&y=14Rental Homes - just type in Doncasterhttp://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsear...en&snf=rbs&a=sfFurniture Rentalshttp://www.yellowpages.com.au/search/postC...r+VIC&stateId=2An option is to take a hotel room for a couple of weeks, look around for a rental house, rent the necessary furniture by the week until your stuff arrives, and buy a couple of pots and pans, crockery and cutlery to keep you going....camping out style! This will probably be the cheapest option.If there is any other info I can help with, feel free to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langes Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi Mara, thanks for the reply. Wanted to ask the same question. We don't have a specific area that we must stay, have been looking at the airport area, because the hotels/motels pick u up and then the St Kilda and Yarra areas. Are they "good"areas, close to cbd and that sort of thing? Can u recommend any other areas or names of Hotels/Motels. We are only 2 people and looking for a place for the first week or so. Thereafter we will try to rent a place once we know where we will work etc. Thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sani Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 We're going over in June and have booked 2 weeks at this apartment in South Yarra. It comes highly recommended by a few people who have used it and looks very clean. If you go back to the main page there are a couple of other apartments there you can look at.

Mara Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi LangesI found the following 2-bedroom apartment for somebody else, it is in the city centre and at around $75 per night, is the best price I could get.http://www.rent-a-home.com.au/accommodation/5465If you wait to closer to your arrival, they only take bookings 14 days in advance, then you can tryhttp://www.needitnow.com.au/needitnow/need...&SearchBox=R117St Kilda and South Yarra are pretty close to city centre and the public transport will get you around quite easily.If there is anything else I can do to assist, just shout!
