Accommodation
Stay with a Melbourne host
Who can I stay with?
We’ll find a local Melbourne dancer for you. Just let us know when you register and we’ll match you up.
What can my host provide?
A bed or couch space, breakfast in the morning and good ‘ol Melbourne hospitality. Your host will help you with your bearings and maybe even transport if they can.
What can I do for my host?
Be a considerate houseguest and consider a small thank-you gift for your darling host.
Offer to host a dancer
This is a longstanding swing exchange tradition! If you can spare a bed or couch for an out-of-town dancer, please indicate this when you register or contact us.
Where to stay in Melbourne
Most of the action is North-side so we’ve kept suggestions to the CBD, North Melbourne, Parkville, Carlton, Fitzroy, and East Melbourne, with one in Richmond for good measure.
These are our budget to mid-range recommendations. If you want something snazzy, search wotif.com.
