I have been wanting to ask this, for some of us that went to other states with no families or friends around how did you sort out your first accommodation wahala upon arrival? someone said flatmate.com.au i tried searching haven't seen any soul that wants families let alone with 3 children and airbnb cost per night is expensive

How can one handle this kind of situation? is it possible to get accommodation within 3 weeks of arrival?

Thank you.

For a single individual, its pretty easy as you can easily find backpackers or something similar and chill there for 3 - 5 days while you find a flatshare or houseshare but for families, it might be a bit harder.

From my experience, in a 'big city' like Perth, you would find lots of ads (private rental) on gumtree. In the regional cities or towns, they use more of facebook groups. So you need to search on facebook for the name of the city plus things like rental properties or rent homes and rooms. Join the groups and comment or inbox posts you are interested in. Some people also post rent properties ads on 'buy, sell and swap' groups. Most of these posts are usually found on facebook marketplace but not all of them.

You can also search budget hotels or motels in these cities. The daily rates are usually expensive but some of them (especially the owner operated) are usually willing to negotiate a weekly or long stay rate. These budget hotels or motels usually have ensuite rooms that can sleep 3 - 6 people. There may or may not be a shared kitchen.

If you manage to get a reasonably priced 1 or 2 weeks temp accommodation, you can then use that time to inspect rental properties. And it would make sense to focus on furnished units. Realestate.com.au is a good place to search for those rental properties.

Bros you too much

I have already joined sell and swap group on facebook before now.

So you think furnished apartment is better than unfurnished? will check realestate out too.

Thank you .

For Team Qld, this is Agnes Water. Small, neat and quiet town (or village sef) with a permanent population of less than 2000 people.

Lots of tourists as its a beautiful holiday destination. Its about 480km north of Brisbane.

If you use vodafone network, please take along telstra sim when visiting as there is no vodafone network there.

Don't be deceived by the price though; it's marketing strategy to remain in competition as more garages now do major services at a reduced price. So giving out discount vouchers can help attract more customers during which they may identify other problems that you can decide to have them fix for you. The actual price is way higher than that if you go to their workshop. I only got that deal paying with a discount voucher I bought at Groupon.

The online version is at your pace. Normally it could take as much as 4 months but you could finish in two months if you are fast enough
