...When planning our Big Aussie Trip my partner and I decided to use the website www.flightcentre.com.au to book last minute accommodation (12 hours to be precise) in Sydney. We wanted something that was going to be cheap for our backpacker budget and in a great travelling location to Sydney. (If you use www.flightcentre.com.au you will find good, quality accommodation reduced and the equivalent of backpacker rates compared to its normal charge per night if you book last minute). Balmain Lodge was the cheapest accommodation and was directly next to Sydney and could be easily reached by bus, walking, a boat or cab. We could book as many nights as we liked and paid $55.00 a night for a double room, with kitchen facilities (sink microwave, cooker, cupboards) our own TV, DVD player, desk, telephone and lamp. We thought this was brilliant... Read review

...Innkeepers lodge is a chain of hotels that have some branches over the country. There are not very many of them,(about 70) and more are being built, but if there is one where you want to stay, they are certainly worth a visit. They are ususally out of the city centre and you would need a car to get to most of them, but many are near to railway stations. www.innkeeperslodge.co.uk Is where the website is located so you could look up whether there is one near where you want to go. SO WHAT DO YOU GET AND WHY SHOULD YOU STOP??? The room styles may differ from lodge to lodge, but what you can expect re facilities and standards are the same throughout. When you're away from home, you want to be comfortable, and here Innkeepers Lodge is very good. Each room has been designed to provide a warm and relaxing environment and you... Read review
