help with accomodation around melbourne please

[ausjack]

Well I have to start to try and organise a few things other wise I won't get to the shows down south so as melboure will be first I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for cheap accommodation in/around melboure, thanks in advance for any assistance :thank_you:

Okay, I used to live in Melbourne...so I can suggest a few places...If you are not fussed with staying close to the working class people and don't mind the 40 mins train ride,  you can stay in Dandenong. ... it's a very much multicultural , buzzing place. ... I think at one point it was the second largest metro area in Melbourne. Hotels and motels would be cheaper there, cheap food and nice people. You will not find any 4 or 5 star places there :-)

What type of accommodation you after AJ, 5 star motel or a cabin in caravan park? Last place I would stay is Dandenong, no offence to the Dandenongians, I'm about 40mins by train from the city in the Yarra Valley. Beautiful area. There's heaps to choose from in way of accommodation. Not sure how you getting around but I would like to go to coin show and if you need a lift I'm happy to help out.

Yarra Valley is a very nice place, didnt know Yarra had cheap places to stay... hence the suggestion...

if AJ is going to get a free ride, I think Yarra is the place to be :ok:

Lilydale is basically the front door to Yarra Valley and theres caravan parks, motels, hotels, hence the suggestion.
