Hi I am looking for accommodation for a family of 6!
2Adults, and 4 kids 3-12yo.
Next trip is Hawaii as I grabbed the recent Jetstar $600 tix (still cost me about ~$700 with meals and baggage)
Now the need to find reasonable accommodation as we are away for 2 weeks.
I am toying with the idea of possibly spending a week in Waikiki and then flying a week into LA to maybe do Disney Land etc. (given that accomm may be better priced in Anneheim?)
Any thoughts?
thanks Danoffer, ill check them out but i dont think the missus will let the kids ride into waikiki!
LA is still a good 6 hours flight time from Hawaii and I imagine it would cost you a similar price to what you've already paid. Plus car hire etc it would add up.
True, about travel time and cost, but im thinking that if LA has more reasonable accommodation, then i could wear the flight costs, given the cheapish Jetstar SYD-HON flight and pay that again for the HON-LAX return but squeeze in Disneyland and some other shopping!
Your best bet are one or 2 bed condos and self catering We have been going back and fore Hawaii for 15 plus years you can get a one bed with a pull out sofa bed in the lounge for around $130 a night US. Plus tax. Depending on what time of year. Try Waikiki a Banyan to start but many more there too
Hi Glo I just sent you a private message about some accommodation timeshare that I have around the world that may be of use to you in your travels
Try vrbo. It's a site where owners rent out direct. You can get apartments or houses on there.
We've stayed at hilton hawaiian village and they have 1 bd suites. Bedroom has two queens and separate living area has a double sofa bed.
Hire a full stretch limo from ABC in HNL 3+ hour tour of beaches etc. for USD$220.
I bought two Jetstar adult flight tickets and an infant ticket to Hawaii from their sale. Seemed like a good idea until you investigate accommodation costs which are crazy right now with the week Australia dollar so we are going to a cheaper Pacific island. They are starter plus tickets (so I can change the name and date for free) and after all of the fees the cost me AUD$800 each return. Any suggestions for reselling them at a discount?
Airbnb?
Edit: i just checked the prices. They are gruesome, please disregard.
Priceline and Hotwire are generally your best bets in Hawaii
Accommodation in Hawaii is expensive…you might find something AirBnb a little way out….there are good bus services and cycle routes into the main areas of Honolulu
