tequilasheila2011 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Flights booked for 18th September, PANIC setting in!!! After months of research for holiday rentals eventually went to book short stay accom in Perth and cant get anything for under $2000. a week. That's $6000 for 3 weeks!!! Can anyone out there help. We were hoping to go NOR but tried everywhere yesterday all the usual websites etc. Dont really want to pay that sort of money, but anything cheaper didn't look too appealing...not that I'm fussy just don't want to turn the kids off before we get there. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknhelen Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hi Guys, the best thing you could do for the time being is look outside of Perth for the first couple of weeks untill you find ur feet. i dont mean like 10minutes away, i mean like an hr away. So that you have a base to use just to get started....Perth is quite expensive now.....im sure there are holiday rentals further afield... Let me know how you get on, i will have a look if i can for you. If you need me to that is. mark (marknhelen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieF8 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Have a look here... http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/rentals/quinns-rocks/181372 AU$ 830 per week in Quinns Rocks...not sure if you want that far NOR, if not there are a few others on that site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sammyjmc1 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi, I booked a place through stayz.com.au, , I also found some good places on aussiemove.com, the place we got was NOR (joondalup) which is a great area, about 30 min drive from Perth city and also direct train into the city. It cost us $600 a week and we stayed for 4 weeks, which gave us time to find a long term rental. We came 4 weeks and booked the place in Jan 12, but when I was doing it, it took what felt like ages to find somewhere. I found a place in the city at first, but it was an apartment and with 2 small children didn't think it would suit us. Keep looking, I know it's tediuos but you'll get somewhere. Let us know how you get on. good luck xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alana rose rae Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi, we are having the same problem. We are coming 27th October and we are finding if almost impossible to find anything thats reasonable, looks half ok and thats available. I haven't tried stay west apartments though so i'll have a wee look there. Hope you've got something by now. I'll keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there We eventually got accommodation in AppleCross Macleod Road for 4 weeks. It looks quite nice but wasn't cheap. We booked with http://www.staywest.com.au. We had hoped to get something NOR but are happy enough for now. Our container left on Friday, big shock to the system so no going back now:-) Keep trying you will find somewhere.

alana rose rae Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thats us sorted! We got 5 nights in Moolloola on the Sunset Coast and are in the middle of booking somewhere in Mandurah for 7 nights, both are very reasonable. I'm not going to book anything for the rest of our stay, as we are going to play it by ear and see which part we prefer. I want to go down to Margaret River too. I'm getting excited now, won't be long:cool: Hi, we are having the same problem.

milliem Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 For anyone still looking, this house is $2259 for a month for 4 guests. It's in between Perth and freemantle. Looks lovely. I have used this site to book in other cities because my son is older now and we don't like to share a room. We have always been lucky with the places we have had Millie x https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/74027 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
