Hi Jo, All good. I suspected getting a deal from a hostel would be of the bulk order variety. I'll talk to a couple of people around here who have had recent experience with local hostels and we'll add them as a list of recommended ones (all be it with no special rate).

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 :)
