Default short term accommodation AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

AHHHHHHHH again!!!! i have been looking at short term holiday rentals, caravan parks etc and have to say that I'm gob smacked at the prices per week we haven't heard from OAA yet and want to find somewhere in the north to rent for a short time before we find a rental but the prices that are being asked are way to much and will eat into our savings especially if we can't secure a rental quickly........any one got a spare tent and a back garden ....or failing that know of a cheaper solution??

Duh sorry, only just realised this is under South Australia.

Have you tried Big4 - not sure whether they cover your area :s Could do with some of the SA kids in here see if anyone can help.

short term holiday lets are fairly expensive around adelaide ... i think it is because there are just not that many about. i will keep an eye out in case anything pops up in the next week or so but i think you will probably find that the prices you are looking at are going to be pretty standard.

sorry i cant be more help. You are probably not going to hear back either way from the oaa for another few weeks yet so dont give up on that.

if i can help with anything else just give me a shout.
Adele

I agree with Tiggs, there isnt a great deal out there.

We are currently in OAA, but didnt find out until aboout 10 days before we departed Blighty, and even that was because I panicked and emailed them, they were able to confirm we had somewhere but didnt know where - we asked for N.e subs but are down in the south and have actually bought a house in the southern subs.

We are due to move out of here 15th August, but maybe even before that so who knows, this place maybe free.

Good luck
