We had an apartment paid for by the company but it was pricey and not very good so wouldn't recommend it anyway.

Have a word with Wardy as she has booked somewhere.

Best bet would be to search wotif.com, I'd go for something in the city so all the banks, internet cafes etc are easy to get to in the first couple of weeks when you need them.

Alternatively if you do happen to get a job at the base hospital you will be entitled to two weeks paid accommodation that they will organise for you...there are two very nice apartments that they use for new arrivals that are very near the hospital.

How many people? I found it difficult to find 3 months accomodation. It was pricy hotels at $80-100 a day or rentals wanted a 6 month tie in for $250 a week

we booked for 2 weeks sal initially, but then I thought well we will need a week to get over travelling and get our bearings and that only leaves us a week so we addied an extra week.#

Does that make sense lol
