Canberra has a large range of accommodation, from low cost hostel,
to high class hotels. As the RSAA does not provide an off-site
accommodation booking service, visitors are required
to arrange their own accommodation. We recommend that people needing
off-site accommodation contact The Canberra Tourism and Events Corporation
Visitors' Centre, who have an accommodation information and booking
service, at telephone 02 6205 0044, (or 131 251 or 1800 026 166
within Australia), fax 02 6205 0776,
.
