Which month did you book your Schoolies Accommodation in?

There is a definate trend, just wanted to know who booked when.

raaaa :givemebee

haha i booked a little late...

end of oct, or was it early nov... well somewhere around then...

but we started sending emails in June...

after like 1000 knockbacks we got one...

I left it till the last minute too, kinda forgot! Yes I'm a dill, plus we were too broke to put the deposit down.

I'll probably be ringing up and booking and what not in the next few weeks

I'll probably be ringing up and booking and what not in the next few weeks

ditto to that.!

meh id say ditto aswell, but knowing me i will book late again...

I've already booked our hotel. I reckon it's abit early, cos I have this nasty feeling, I'm gonna find somewhere cheaper later on. :confused: Ahh bugger it.

Eh. I found somewhere cheaper then where i booked.... but hey, maybe thats because i booked a 5 star hotel :D

Its better to find somewhere cheaper later on then to wait and then not be able to get a room

Yeah the thing is if we decide to cancel it, we might to pay a cancellation fee and that's gonna be a bummer too. I'm glad we're not paying per person rates like what they're doing on the schoolies site, I just can't believe they can rip us off like that. :mad:

Yea it gets pretty damn expensive.. and you have to pay for little things that you normally wouldnt have to

You will always find a better place... but seriously Legends hotel is pretty much 5 star.. its VERY nice

and woody so is crown towers.. you wont find many better places... depends what you want out of your accommodation..

A nice comfortable place to recover from the night before...like swimming in a man made lagoon..thats always relaxing :D

If you want somewhere cheap the Courtyard Marriot has vacancies in the first week, not sure about other dates, but they are pretty damn cheap, not a bad hotel, and its right on cavil avenue

All the hotels are pretty reasonable...

If you dont want to book with schoolies i suggest Legends hotel, the courtyard marriot, ANA hotel, gold coast international or outrigger sun city resort

Where Is every 1 staying?? Ne 1 at cascade gardens so many places r booked out

i booked like sometime last year... but im happy wit the place we're at the first place we were gonna book screwed us around so we went better and its about the same... although im stayin at airlie beach so stuff could be different

xox

me and my mates have finally settled on outrigger sun city, i thought i left it a little too late wen i noticed that schoolies.com had no vacancies except for Seaworld. my advance to anyone with last minute decisions on finding a hotel is call up a travel agency, better yet get ur parents to do it and say its for a family trip. thats wot we did and it worked. ah well best of luck to the rest of u guys. Yay 6 months to Go

:givemebee

and how much are u paying salty and how many ppl in ur room?

im paying 2200 for 5 people and we dont have to forkl out any money for bond.

is that 2200 for one week?

yup sure is.. thats not to bad actually salty seeing as you dont hav to pay bond and stuff. coz the ones on other sites are heaps expensive.. u can get alot cheaper though :) hehe

yeah u can get cheaper...but im really fussy with where i stay. i have stayed at sun city before and it is hell nice. and yeah for that price i aint complaining. man i sound like a yuppie...hahaha

I stayed at the mirage once, pretty nice. Gotta love the sunken bar in the pool.

man that sounds wicked...is that like the ones you can swim up to the bar and order your drinks?

Exactly - bar stools under water an all.

It's the tent thing on the left:
