M (my bride of 14 years) and I are planning to make the most of the trip down to Phillip Island and stay a couple of nights in some local accommodation. Partially because it's a week after our anniversary so we might as well make it our 'anniversary weekend' (hmm...pain, dirt, discomfort, exhaustion... Sounds an appropriate way to celebrate a marriage!!), and secondly because M may be running on the Saturday with her gym, and we're both planning to volunteer on the day we're not running...
However, when we went to book last night we got quite a shock. Caravan parks were all either full-up or had 3 night minimum bookings (due to school holidays), and other accommodation wasn't easy to get either, especially affordable stuff. After much searching we managed to find a rather nice little cottage in Cowes, but I'd hate to be trying to book in a month or two.
So, if you're planning to stay (and especially if you want to avoid tenting, which doesn't appeal to me all that much if I'm wanting to be well rested/recovered for the Mudder) be encouraged to get onto it asap.
Stayz worked pretty well for us and it's how we found our place.
