When we had to be on the Sunshine Coast by the weekend {was that only last weekend? gosh time flys}, and we had no Motorhome I was freaked out thinking what were we going to do and where we going to stay.
Silly me – I should have realised that the Universe provides when you ask the right questions. Mind you I am not sure what questions I was asking.
Travelling Australia Cheaper is possible when you ring around those in the know. Thanks to David’s Boss we were able to stay in a Caravan Cabin way cheaper then if we booked it, but we could only stay there for a week.
So today we were meant to move into a Furnished Apartment – which by the way is way cheaper then renting a cabin in a caravan park on the Sunshine Coast!! Yeah who would think that?
Yet it wasn’t meant to be…the rain and the floods and the high tide meant that the Real Estate was under this morning so we couldn’t sign any of our paperwork. Even though we had already paid our money, and they had finally proved who we were….talk about trying to prove who you are when you leave your Birth Certificates back at the Motorhome – lesson learnt, never ever leave important paper work behind.
This Saturday Morning ::
Freak Out….it was close to 10.00am check out time and we had no where to go. We could have stayed in the tiny cabin at Nambour but it was going to cost us over $100.00 per extra night, I knew that I could get a better deal!
The other day New Life on the Road was given access to Travel Set Go website – where you can find Deals for Accommodation, Cruises, Cars and Flights. Way cheaper deals then “Last Minute Deals” or even “Wotif” deals. And the accommodation deals were way cheaper on Travel Set Go compared to ringing the hotel.
You too can get access to the Travel Set Go Website – join up with this Code {Click on the Word Code} to get your membership and gift saving card, the money you save by joining is so worth the year membership.
*** If the above Code does not work for you let me know via email – lisawsdream@gmail.com – and I will be able to give you the link via email.
How do I know? Because at five minutes to our check out time this morning I was looking/searching for cheaper Deals for a place to stay for the next three nights. I was on the website Travel Set Go, searching and searching.
Even though I still needed a shower, and we still needed to pack up our Cabin I was determined that we were going to have somewhere to stay until we could get back to the Real Estate to sign the paperwork and collect our keys.
And my determination paid off – I was able to find a really nice apartment for three nights for almost the same money {we paid about $317.00 for three nights} we were going to have to pay for a cabin. Which would you chose? Yeah I was booking it before I could lose the deal!
** Please NOTE :: I have just found out that the website is in American Dollars – so when you are going through the process of booking an accommodation and paying for it on your Debit Visa Credit Card, make sure you take into account the fact that the Australian Dollar is different to the American Dollar – find a converter online to work out exactly how much money you are going to end up paying for your accommodation. Our three nights ended up being about $407.00 !!
And I found a Place….we are overlooking the water…
We are living out of suitcases, but I make sure we carry our Pillows with us where ever we go!
We are happy with where we are for the next three nights….out of the rain, and the floods. Safe and sound. And this accommodation is way nicer then the Caravan Cabin we were in for the last week!
Travelling Our Way ::
Travelling Australia Cheaper is what we have always done. We have done lots of free camping {love that style of travelling}, stayed in Caravan Parks, Stayed in over night rest stops, stayed at Recreations Reserves, stayed at National Parks, Slept in our Campervan {yes all four of us have slept in that}, slept in our leaking Family Tent!, Crashed at friends houses – sleeping in tents/campervans/their bedrooms, and even hotels. Now we can add Holiday Apartments to the never ending list of how we travel Australia.
We do prefer having our own Motorhome with us, and using our Camper van for trips where the Bus can’t go. But until we can get our Motorhome Injector Pump tested and repaired we will be very happy with the view we have, the comfy bed, the nice kitchen and the fact we have access to two toilets!
We will be very happy to have a “Homebase” and travel as much as possible in our campervan…I think my itchy feet are starting to rub off on my boys cause they are asking us where we are going to head to next.
And all of the plans for the year 2015 are slowly falling into place….I am really excited about the plans David and I are talking about with regards to our motorhome, and with regards what to do next…can’t wait to see the plans come true.
Until then we are going to enjoy our Holiday Apartment, the comfy lounges, the big kitchen, the nice bathrooms and the view…sure hope the weather clears up tomorrow so that we can walk along the beach.
Watch What You Say ::
Have you ever thought about what comes out of your mouth as coming true? Well be very careful with what you say….I have always said that I could live in an apartment over looking the beach….well that is what we got.
Now I am off….to start putting my thoughts onto paper, creating a world where all of our dreams come true….I am going to start asking for a “new motorhome” and for our travels to continue for ever and ever. Can’t share the details {finer details} as yet, but know this – we are going to have the best year of our life!
Have You Tried Travel Set Go?
If you join and you find some great deals, let me know….would love to celebrate with you.
Cheers

Re ” watch what you say ”
Yes. Words are spiritual containers & the universe is listening in.
Enjoy the place you are staying .:)
Thanking you Johanna, I sure hope your are healing well after your operation…and yes I knew you would totally get what I am saying about the universe listening and answering to those words. Sending you love xxx
It looks like a fantstic apartment, so much better than a cabin and with all the rain you are getting it is good to be safe and snug. Hope you get that walk on the beach tomorrow.

It is a wonderful Holiday Apartment…bummer we had to move from it 🙂
Yeah this rain is crazy, hope you are okay up there with the wild weather we have been getting!
The beach walk is still waiting…it keeps raining!
Wow, that IS a nice clean place! That picture of where you are overlooking the water is reversed here because the cars are driving the wrong way!! So the Universe provides when you ask the right questions?? Ok, well then I’m revisiting our talk offline 🙂
