Home Hosting
Enjoy the comforts of home with the Festival's Home Hosting program. Locals that have spare rooms take in boarders during the Festival period - in some cases, the whole house is available when the owners are away on holiday.
All homes are inspected and checked for cleanliness, privacy, comfort and proximity to the CBD. Many people have made friends with their hosts and stay with the same families year after year.
Details for 2011 Home Hosting are being finalised and will be released in March.
