hefbat Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi all, relocating in May and looking for short-term accommodation while we wait for our stuff to arrive. Need to find a place with no internal stairs (ours love a good climb) access to internet, and with a second bedroom that can fit two cots. Anyone have any tips on how to find something affordable, the websites we've looked at are more aimed a one-week vacationers than parents like us!

Freckleface Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 What is your idea of affordable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hefbat Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Good question. Found places on Airbnb for $2-3k a month that suited budget, no idea if this is realistic price outside Airbnb or gumtree ads, everything else involving companies seems much higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Try http://www.allhomes.com.au/ah/act/rent-residential/advanced-search/view?regionid=391 There used to be a nice little cottage in Ainslie which might have done the trick but it doesnt seem to be listed on there any more. Another site I used to use was http://www.stayz.com.au You might have to get your own dongle for the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slean Wolfhead Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 http://www.canberrafurnished.com.au/ You could try these people for furnished accommodation. Prices are high on here, but tell them your requirements and they may have something suitable at a decent price if you're staying a month or two. It does make a difference having a washing machine and a few mod cons when you touch down, especially with kids in tow and lots to do. Inner North, Braddon and the city is expensive, but assuming you get a car then somewhere a little further up the road like Lyneham or Dickson is no bother and a bit cheaper.
