Accommodation

The following accommodation options have been chosen because they are located in suburbs close to the venue in the inner west. They are in the low – mid price range so if you are looking for something more luxurious, you may need to find somewhere else. Go to www.wotif.com.au or www.stayz.com.au to look for alternative accommodation options.

When you are making a booking, please verify the rates when you call because some places require more than one night stay to get the rates stated below.

All places are clean but basic and some only offer shared bathrooms so make sure you ask about facilities before you book.

We hope you find a comfy bed and place to rest as the days are long and a good night’s sleep will help you integrate the energies that Wesak offers to all.
