Darwin

[rob tranter]

Hi all

I'm going up to Darwin June 9 to 16.

The cook has booked the flights but not the accommodation.:-/

So has any one got any tips on Good Cheapish Accommodation, I'm not real keen on the $200 to $300 a night job's around $110 to $150 would be fine, and yep I know it's peak season up there at that time, any help would be appreciated.

And whats the best for a fish while I'm there.

And Mod's, I have mentioned "FISHING" so can you PLEASE leave this here for a while:)

Just check out the different styles of accommodation. Also if you are going to hire a car shop around as the one that I was going to book with was nearly $300 cheaper for the week than most others

Free Spirit Resort has a range of accommodation - cabins, Motel rooms etc and is quite reasonably priced.Also has a great restaurant and bar/pool area . Also I reckon it had the best beer I had on a 8 week trip around WA and NT.

I usually use the website below as you can check out all the deals and compare between accommodation places on the one site.

Hey Rob, don't forget the stick, a bit of string and a fresh chook to do some lizard fishing while you're there. :) ::) ;D

Hi all

Thanks for the tips, all greatley appreciated.

Still looking, the boss has decided to leave it to the last minute and pray for some cheaper availability::)

Hi Bundy, hows it hanging?

Yep I was planning on using the Cook instead of a chook;D

I am pretty sure that this is where we stayed when we were up there. Didn't cost the earth and it is really really close to the mall etc and also right next to parliament house.
It is called Hotel Darwin and it is on the corner of the esplanade and herbert streets. 08 8981 9211

As for fishing, if you have a couple of hundred, take a charter out for some black jew. Lots of fun if you get onto a good school.
If you would like the name for a charter, PM me.
