1 Week Rental - Sunshine Coast?
 
Hi
Does anyone on here know if we can rent a house for 1 week on the Sunshine Coast (Buderim or thereabouts)?
We are on holiday for most of November in OZ and we want to spend a week there. Dates would be Nov 13th to 20th (roughly)

Just had a reply from them and it is $800 per week, this is a bit too much for us so I'll reckon we will stay at Big4

Try this look up realestate.com.au look up rentals in Qld then click on holiday rentals and type in postcode 4557- Mooloolaba and see if there is anything of interest or just turn up and haggle. Houses may be dearer but you should get a decent apartment for that money. ;)

Here you go, it does say a discount tho, not sure what thats for but its $500 pw. I'd go for Big4 too!

can give you a firm price,
It would be approx for 5 people $1000 aus, which is a discount of $800
pw.All of our villas are Brand new 3 Bedroom 2 bathroom with ducted a/c.

That's not so good!!
I have just got a Nationwide current account and credit card, Nationwide do not penalise you when using the account overseas (like robbing Barclaycard etc). We will take a little cash (£100 or so) and the rest I'll do on my card.
Still might get a shite exchange rate though!!

we're with the nationwide and they were great when we were in aus. We got around 2.5 and they never charged us to withdraw any money overseas. Good choice. Just been looking at other options for you. Where bouts is the Big4 on the sunshine coast?

They have a nice one at Maroochy (well it looks nice in their book), we'll probably go for that one
