Almost there...recommendations for temp accomodation around Melbourne
Dear all
Hoping to be landing in Melbourne first week in December (now that the house sale is back on line after the buyers had decided to drop their offer considerably just prior to completion for no other reason that we are wanting to sell quickly and emigrate! Still, I'm not bitter - honest! Anyone else come across this?).
Anyhow, back on track. We are planning to book some type of Holiday accommodation for the first three weeks, somewhere not too far from Melbourne. Has anyone had any good (or bad) experiences doing this. Intend to use it as a base to explore the area with a view to then leasing a place once we've found an area we like.
Any help is greatly appreciated - right, I'm off to continue being bitter for a while
Cheers

Of course it depends on what you want...but the Quest Serviced apartments are good....and are spread all around the city and suburbs
They have a good website (should have put a link up
)And welcome to the forum

We've now got another buyer who is terrified of being gazumped (and really wants our house), so I've got my fingers crossed.
Must admit I thought about not telling prospective buyers (about Australia) but since we live in a small village chances were that they'd find out anyway.
Commiserations anyway.
BTW We are aiming for End Nov./Beg. Dec. as well.

I stayed myself at the Richmond Lodge for 10 days, and I thought it was good value, clean and has broadband internet, which can be handy.
2 possible problems, it definitely NON smoking, so if you are smokers, forget it, and it is in the centre of the city, so if you are travelling out of town it's not ideal.
