Hi all;,
sorry I left so abruptly yesterday (wretched internet connection).
re short stay apartments: I have arranged a discounted rate from Central City apartments as well as 2 hotels. If 4 people stayed in a 2 room apartment it would work out pretty cheap - $50 a head and self catering.
I trolled around hostels but for group discounts you had to book as a group in 1 block. Student accommodation is still being used by varsity students so I felt I had come to a dead end. However I would be delighted to be proven wrong so if someone else would like to take up the challenge that would be grand :)
I think we should list the hostels and their prices anyway, even without a group discount they will be cheaper than a hotel. It would be nice to have a place on the site with links to lots of different accomodation available, to make it easier for people to find places Chris
