2020 FAA Conference Accommodation
About the Accommodation
Our conference venue is International House, located at 241 Royal Parade, Parkville, Melbourne.
Melbourne comes alive in the last half of January with the Australian Open and tennis fans pour in from around the world. So Melbourne is usually full and accommodation is scarce; therefore we are recommending early booking. There are many choices of accommodation available as follows:
- A single student room on campus
- Share an apartment on campus with friends
- Stay nearby
1. A single student room on campus
As mentioned below our single rooms will have communal bathroom facilities. Student rooms have been recently refurbished and while these rooms do not have air conditioning they are in a wing shaded by large trees –we also hope to have a fan in each room – see below.
While the student rooms are student rooms, they are clean and often spacious.
- One single bed
- Desk, lamp and chair in each room
- Communal bathroom, with shower and toilet
- Communal tea and coffee making area outside room
- Access to coin operated laundry facilities
- Internet access
- Breakfast is included
- Electronic locks on doors
Most student rooms do not have lift access or air conditioning. However they are very reasonably priced and allow you to save for your purchases at the Zodiac Conference Bookshop.
Check out these rooms at the Melbourne Uni Conference Accommodation page.
2. Share an apartment on campus with friends
Unfortunately all our apartments are now booked – our only accommodation available on site are students rooms. However there are many options nearby and also Airbnb. Again we suggest early booking.
3. Stay nearby
Melburnians know why their city tops Vienna or Vancouver for the most liveable city – it is that cross-cultural ambience wherever you go and we are in the heart of it with Brunswick, Carlton and the city close by. So you might prefer to book your own accommodation as we are so close to the city. We’ve scouted a few places as follows:
