Sydney offers a huge range of accommodation options – from cheap-but-cheerful to ‘If you have to ask, you can’t afford it’.Prices are usually quoted per room, rather than per person, depending on the facilities and/or the view. Hotel rates during the summer months (December – February), school holidays, long weekends and Mardi Gras (February – March). Better rates are available in winter (June – September), so its worth ringing around or visiting websites.
For long term stay there are places in the ‘flats to let’ and ‘shared accommodation’ section in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper on Wednesday and Saturday.
Services apartments often sleep several people and can be a cheaper option than a hotel. They also mostly come with a kitchen which means you can cook her and save money on eating out.
Eastern Subberbs
The eastern Suburbs is made up mainly from Coogee, Cloevelly, Randwick, Bronte and the famous Bondi. The bulk of accommodation may seem to cater for young backpackers, but there are plenty of lodges and hotels with amazing sea views. Be aware that summer is peak season, and rooms can be difficult to find due to the large amount of backpackers moving outwards towards the coast line.
