2 guys seek Room near Sydney, or if not near, at least 15mins by public transport for dates set out above: Friday 26th Dec - Saturday 3rd January, basically 8 nights, me and a friend are legal clerks that work in Brisbane that have left accomodation too late to book and are DESPERATE for anywhere to sleep that isnt a bus stop!.. we are clean living and have stuff booked and friends to visit so will not be in the way at all if it is a houseshare!

$600.00? Now that's just being a notch above a freeloader. That translates to $37.50 per night per person. That's less than you would pay for one night sleeping in a bunk bed in an 8 person dorm in a backpackers. Try adding $1,000.00 to your budget and you might get a taker.

And I do agree that $600 for 2 strangers for 8 nights is a little low to be offering. Looks like you may have to either pony up some more funds or sleep at the bus stops.

I just looked at Sydney quickly, and $1,040 would get all those nights at the "Sydney Central on Wentworth" 75 Wentworth Avenue, Sydney 2000

Just need to mix rooms 4 @ $89 and 4 @ $170 pn
But hurry before they go....
PS: Do I still get the $600

Even better, try a Wicked Camper Rental for 14 nights.
They have a special offer at the moment:
The Naked Special
If you are renting a van for 14 days or more, and you turn up naked, we will give you your first day rental free. This is an internet only special, and will disappear once it is removed from the web. So hurry in now, and get yourself a naked bargain!

i didnt think i would get this many replies!.. LOL.. im glad that i sparked such a topical debate and thanks to ABC Diamond who was the only one with any constructive advice, of which i have enquired about and think i am going to book this afternoon..... i really was only asking on here because i had a previous thread asking for advice about legal sector work and ended up getting a job (that i love) out of one of the people who replied so maybe i was being a little ambitious as to the response i would get on this thread. i know that $600 isnt a lot to spend on a holiday but ive had over 20 replies on gumtree of people that do have a spare room and prefer not to have it spare when they could make a little bit of extra 'informal' cash...
anyway, merry xmas to everyone, hope u enjoy your holidays as much as i will
