Preparation 2 : Accom at Gold Coast & Sydney, Australia

Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera semua,

Ishh..JM ni..tak abis-abis lagi ke citer pasal persediaan ke Aussie ni..last entry citer pasal ETA..hari ni nak story pasal tempat penginapan pulak. Alahh..noks..jangan lah marah..JM kan suka berkongsi info..manalah tahu di kalangan pembaca blog JM ni ada yang tengah mencari-cari tempat penginapan di Gold Coast dan Sydney, mereka boleh refer kat sini ye dok.

"Menerjah penginapan di Gold Coast dan Sydney Australia"

Moh kita sambung..JM dapat rasakan ramai sudah rakyat Malaysia yang telah melancong ke negara Kanggaroo iaitu AUSTRALIA seperti Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane dan Perth. Tempat-tempat ini bukan asing lagi di kalangan kaki travel seperti JM nih kan.

Ke mana sahaja kita boleh pergi dengan syarat ada kemahuan, keinginan dan kemampuan. Bila sebut sahaja Australia mesti terbayangkan..wah...kadar mata wang Australia tinggi lah... AUD1 ~ RM3.00 above..mahal tu..yer betul waktu JM pergi Perth pada Mei 2012, AUD1 = RM3.18. Tapi itulah, kadar matawang ni pun ada turun naik jugak seperti bulan Julai 2013, JM check AUD1 = RM2.96. So ikut nasib lah kan kekadang dapat rate rendah kekadang dapat rate tinggi.

Kadar matawang ini perlu diambil kira kerana ia melibatkan budget kita kan. Sebagai contoh..katakan kita budget nak spend dalam RM2000, berapa kita dapat dalam Australian Dollar (AUD) kalau rate dalam AUD1 = RM3.00, maybe dalam AUD666 jer. Maknanya AUD 666 akan digunakan untuk transport, makan, entrance fee dan shopping (belum termasuk budget penginapan lagi kan).

Tempat penginapan adalah aspek kedua terpenting yang perlu di ambil kira sebelum membuat sesuatu perjalanan. Maknanya, jika tiket flight sudah di beli, mesti pikir tempat untuk tido. Bila sebut sahaja Sydney atau Melboune tempat penginapan yang murah dan sesuai untuk budget travel adalah Malaysian Hall. Kepada sesiapa yang ingin mengetahui info lanjut boleh rujuk di blog kegemaran JM ni kakiberangan

Malaysian Hall Sydney AUD12 (RM36.00) per night..memang menjadi tumpuan pelancong dari Malaysia..cheap..cheap..cheap. Baru-baru ini JM mendapat info dari rakan blogger DJ dan Henry Fox, mulai Mei or Jun 2013...rate telah berubah kepada AUD20..aha..maybe MH mendapat sambungan yang menggalakkan..maka rate pun dah berubah..tapi still murah ye dok...

Tempahan boleh di buat melalui laman web SINI
waktu operasi sehingga jam 4.00 petang

Kepada yang berhasrat untuk melancong ke Sydney dan ingin menginap di Malaysian Hall boleh rujuk direction di bawah yer..

Lokasi :
Dewan Malaysia Sydney
2A, Alison Road, Randwick
NSW 2031

How to get there from Sydney Airport

1. By Bus
- Naik bas No 400 dari Terminal 3 (T3) : Sydney Domestic Terminal to Randwick Juntion
- Dari Randwick Juntion jalan ke arah Alison Road
- Fee : AUD5.70

2. By Train
- Dari Airport naik tren dan turun di Central Stration (10 minutes)
- Dari Central Station, naik bas No 372 untuk ke Alison Road
- Fee :  AUD15

Selain Malaysian Hall, tidak dinafikan terdapat banyakkkkkkkkkkkkk hotel, hostel dan apartment yang sediakan dengan kadar harga dalam lingkungan RM80 - RM600 per night. Kalau pergi bersama keluarga apartment adalah pilihan bijak kerana terdapat kemudahan untuk memasak. Kalau tinggal di hostel boleh dapat RM80 per night tapi dari segi furniture, dorm dan bathroom perlu di kongsi dan lokasi agak jauh dari bandar dan tempat-tempat menarik Jadi pilih lah penginapan mengikut kemampuan.

Senarai penginapan boleh di tempah melalui Agoda.com atau Booking.com. Biasanya tempah hotel ni kawan JM yang uruskan dan kalau sentiasa tempah melalui agoda akan dapat point yang boleh di redempt tapi bergantung kepada jumlah point yang di terima. Seperti kes kawan JM ni, dek kerana kekerapan tempah melalui agoda dan beliau telah sign-in sebagai member, semasa tempah hotel di Gold Coast beliau boleh redempt point tu...sebenarnya jumlah bayaran hotel untuk 5H4M di Islander Resort Hotel adalah RM1009 tetapi hanya perlu bayar RM927.48 (AUD290.61). Average rate adalah RM231.87 per night dan RM116 per person. So kat sini JM perlu spend lebih kurang RM464. Quiet expensive right. So pilihan di tangan masing-masing.
