I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this question so feel free to slap me if not, but is there a certain agency that most of you on the board go through for lodging during the fest? I've only camped when I've been, but with two tiny children the lodging route might be the way to go for a few years.
Thanks in advance!
I’ve found lodging via a variety of options. Most have been reliable with one exception. Air bnb has completely screwed me around during festival. I’ve been grossly overcharged for a room that had nearly nothing it advertised ( and my bed was a mattress on top of a wardrobe, I’m not kidding) but even worse I’ve had lodging cancelled at last minute more than once as the apartment mysteriously became unavailable in the week before the festival. When you are flying from Australia this becomes a major problem and I ended up paying thousands of extra dollars to score lodgings at the last minute.
My advice is to use the accredited lodging services in town, they are pretty good and to avoid air bnb during festival like the plague ( which is appropriate for this time I guess).
I’m normally a sunshine positive type and I am besotted with PB and the festival. The only thing that really burns me is the way Air bnb owners exploit people coming to the festival. Rotten practises.
Town Park camping is more fun!
