Guest philomena Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 :arghh:Two weeks today and we will be on our way to Adelaide for our recci. We havent booked accommodation as we are not sure where to start. Any advice appreciated. I can only go for two weeks, however Karl has a flexible ticket till the 20th Feb. We dont know if we should just travell around and book BnB<s as we go (Karl is thinking about hostels to save costs for his 4 weeks on his own) Or should we book a central location and visit the different subburbs from that one location. Is this possible? please any advice would be appreciated as to where to start looking. starting to panic a little now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the holiday season here + people do book months in advance. If there are just the two of you it might be worth a go at hostels if you don't mind roughing it a little. Sorry. Once here you might get in at some B & B's. Take the time to try and see all of Adelaide and the surrounding suburbs and areas - lots to choose from. Good luck!:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dan&nikki Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 if theres only the two of you (not sure if you have kids) then a hostel would be cheapest....make sure you make a list of places you want to see whilst you are there. Adelaide is a lovely place (we are moving there in FEB!) best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philomena Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks for you comments. Just the two of us no kids. we may also look at a campervan. Dan and Nikki have you been to Adelaide before? if so can you recommend some suburbs to look at. We fancy somthing a bit rurral, but close enought to the coast if we fancy a dip. I work as a nurse, so not to far from hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Cow Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi, Now this might sound a bit mad (sorry) but if it is just the two of you, perhaps you could buy a tent when you get over here.:wub: I'm sure hostels/ motels/ whatever would be way more comfortable, but camping is big over here, and on the plus side you would be fully mobile and could travel reasonably light - the sites have cooking facilities / showers etc- whilst meeting heaps of nice people (you know how friendly people tend to be camping). It is summer hols here so like the Very Wise Venerable Ol' Tyke says, places are pretty busy (and expensive!) until the kids go back after Australia Day. Mind you, I know someone who needed to find somewhere with short notice and she managed just fine! So I'm sure you'll be fine too! (Sadly that's my kind of logic!) As for rural and near the sea and hospitals...Whyalla!! (Not near Adelaide though...) :wubclub: LC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philomena Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Whyalla is one that is on my list to visit. Dont think i fancy camping, i will let you know what happpens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Django Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 If you are unsure of what Adelaide has to offer have a look at http://www.adelaidebound.com it will give you a few ideas. I would start with areas where your places of work are most likely to be and then check out all those areas have to offer. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs TinB And who might you be, 'Tinbasher'.... if that really is your name:mask:???? If by 'heartless barmy bovine' you mean sophisticated, intelligent, super-model, then you obviously do know me and thank you. If not, then go rust yourself:tongue:! I only pick on Tyke because I can. Tut! Oh and because he's originally from Oop north...although rumour has it he's upgraded to being a southerner (Good on ya!) La Vache Enigmatique et un petit peu fou. Mwah dahlinks!

Guest tinbasher Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Tyke will never pass over to the dark side, your kidding yourself. Whatever was all that French stuff, don't try and kid yourself that you are all sophisticated-I know better than that Mrs LC. And back to the original thread, if you need a hostel the one in Glenelg is nice as is the one in town. I haven't stayed there but I know some people that have and they spoke highly of both places. Apparently you can get seperate rooms. Mrs TinB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
