Cheap hotels in Canberra....

Have a look at the Formule1 hotel on the northern edge of the city (see www.formule1.com.au). Room prices start around $80. From what I can see the rooms are tiny, and I don't know how they would handle a family of four, but they might be worth a call on 02 6253 9020.

I would suggest that you book ahead. Canberra can be full quite regularly. Try the Canberra Village caravan park. Fairly central and they have a substantial motel and heaps of cabins. But, check if they have any schools booked in at the time - a lot of schools use the place for their pilgrimage to Canberra. You don't want to share the place with them.

I would give the Formula 1 a miss, as you have a car a good option could be to stay in a motel or apartment in Queanbeyan (10 mins from Parliament House). Have a look on Wotif for good deals. As a local I haven't actually stayed in any so can't give too much advice on quality. If you look a bit further afield than City or Manuka you will pay much less. See Tripadvisor.com for reviews. Enjoy our beautiful city in Autumn! There is heaps to do, don't forget Questacon for young kids. They will love mini-Q if under 6.

Have you had a look at this site?

Hi. we always stop at the city C/park at Queenbeyan, good cabins and resonable as well, Right on the river good for kids and close to the shops etc.
Cheers Des.

Try the "Lodge".....LOL...the experts are sayig it'll be vacant shortly :-)))

Couldn't help myself after tonight's news.

You might also try Canberra Carotel Motel & Caravan Park Cnr Aspinall & Zelling St Watson 02 6241 1377. Not the flashest place from memory. Also, I would recommend you look at Queanbeyan as advised above if you are looking at cheaper accommodation.

You might struggle getting aroom at the moment with all the journos up ther for the release of the budget.
