Accommodation


Travel Lodge

The Travel Lodge Hotel is the preferred accommodation for 33ACCMCC. It is conveniently located a leasurely 15 minutes walk from the conference venue. We encourage all conference participants to stay at this comfortable and very reasonably priced Hotel. To receive the quoted rate (well below standard), be sure to mention ACCMCC when making reservations.


There are two other accommodation venues the conference is recommending, though they are not offering a special rate to conference delegates.


The Grand Hotel is one of Newcastle's oldest pubs that dates back over a century to 1891. It is very much an old-style Australian hotel.

Cnr Bolton & Church Streets
Newcastle, NSW 2300

$80/night

The Grand has only nine rooms so that you must act early if you want to stay here. You should contact them directly if you want to stay there. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the conference venue.
