Does anyone have a spare bed or floor in Melb, 28 Feb?

[Louwai]

Hello all

Does anyone have spare bunk space for two on Sunday 28 Feb, near where the boat to Tasmania goes from in Melbourne? Bruce (blackzook)and I are on a different boat to everyone else.

What I'm after is either a place to crash (and most importantly, somewhere safe to leave the bikes) or suggestions on accommodation near where the boat goes from.

We have to be in the boat queue at 7.30am at the latest and neither of us know Melbourne well, so I figure close by is the way to go.

If you can't find a bed, The St Kilda Novatel is about 3klm to 4klm down the same road on the waterfront. Right across the rd from Lunar Park.
In Fitzroy Street, St Kilda (also 3klm odd away) is the Urban hotel as well. Both around the $150/night (if you don't mind sharing)

there are also some 2br appartments in Fitzroy st that are rented by the night. But they are closer to $180/night.

On St Kilda rd (behind Albert Park) there are a few more hotels. The Ibis etc. They are about 1klm back from the waterfront & still 3 to 4klm from the Tassie boat.
