Hi All, need your advices on the accomodation.

I am planning for my Melbourne trip this coming Nov. We have two adults and two small kids (2 and 3.5 yrs old). For accomodation booking, can I book a triple room (1 queen bed + 1 single bed) or a One-Bedroom suite?? Because my youngest likes to sleep with us, will be wasted if taking the two-bedroom suite. When doing the booking, do I need to mention clearly \"how many children\" and \"their age\"? Will they make \"noise\" if I only declare only 3 sleepers?
A lot of homeworks needed for travelling with kids

Thanks....

You need to declare as it is a FIRE regulation... Pls DO declare upfront, even if charges are imposed.

Consider Melbourne Short Stay Apartments... they are good, clean, very easy to sort food out by cooking simple, and HUGE.

Hire a car, bring the kids out for 3 days at a FarmStay about an hour and a half out... worth the effort.
I did that with the kids. Lovely place.

It’s close to Summer but can be quite cold as it’s further down south. I was there in October few years back, the weather is good, just a long sleeve shirt is enough for day. But at Phillip Island, it was freezing when we went for the penguin parade. The same goes to GOR too.


Just make sure you bring enough warm clothing for the little ones. For us, we like to stay in cottages/apartment that has a washing machine, so we get do do our laundry as and when needed.

I'd say the same thing as Blessed Homemaker...

Melbourne is great for kids!
Do bring a really warm windbreaker jackets as you would like to go to the Great Ocean Road, or Philip Island... the latter would require you to stand around for a couple of hours as dusk hits... and the wind by the beach is non-stop freezing cold.

On a good day, you can go out in T-shirt, berms and slippers.... and in the afternoon, if it rains, you need a jacket already!
It's like that.
