Hi everyone,
Having just enjoyed a trip down to amazing Adelaide, I thought I would let you into some really great websites that I found for accommodation for your Australian holiday/stays.
For long term accomodation (ie that house to rent/buy):
www.realestate.com.au
Rental properties generally require referees, a few forms of identification (a passport, a credit card, a Medicare card and/or photo drivers license). For overseas passports, you require more identification than if you provide local drivers licenses. Rent in generally paid monthly with a month's bond as well.
For holiday accomodation:
www.wotif.com (last minute accommodation)
www.quickbeds.com (run by the Flight Centre and guarantee cheaper accommodation than other Australian based websites)
www.lastminute.com.au
Hope this helps.
Regards
