This page is intended to provided a service for non-Melbourne based Fusiliers.
There is no particular rhyme or reason for listing these hotels - there are hundreds of places in the CBD - these are just the ones we have heard about.
As is often the case, you may be able to get a cheaper rate by negotiation or by using one of the many web sites like www.wotif.com.au
But remember, Melbourne's fashionable Spring Racing Carnival runs from 5th October to 23rd November, so book early to ensure you get a room!
Finally, there is no connection between the organisers and the venues listed on this page, and we do not accept responsibility if things stuff up! Sorry!
Barry White advises that this hotel has a good rate.

I have used this motel before and it is good, clean and cheap. There are about 20 rooms - mostly doubles (some with 3 beds some with 2 queen size beds), a few singles (some with 2 beds).
Nella has agreed to block out the whole motel for the time being - we can firm up numbers later. If you are interested in staying here, please let me know dates and type of room. Email me here
