SA Footy

Only ever really been to the eastern side of Melbourne a few times in the early 90s to see footy at Waverly.
Im thinking of flying over to see a band that plays Doncaster on the Friday night and Chelsea Heights on the Saturday night.
Anyone with a suggestion of where to stay?
I normally stay in the CBD in Melbourne.

Depends what kind of accom you want and how far you want to travel, the east has a few decent motels. Dandenong and Glen Waverley is about half way between Doncaster and Chelsea Heights if you dont want to travel. If you dont mind a little travel id still stay in the CBD, its only a short drive from the CBD to Doncaster and Chelsea Heights.

Plenty of Hotels around that side of town I hardly go over there.

My old mans goes over to Braeside for work regularly and usually stays at the Chifley Doveton or the Ramada Encore in Dandenong.

Out that way the other week saw plenty of "interesting" people over there. Dandy kinda reminds me of Lizbeff.

Have stayed at both, Chifley quite often has good deals and would be located roughly in the middle of the two locations you are visiting

remind when I started my Job 4 years ago. We went down to Frankston for train 30C in the shade at 10Am. A guy on the station drinking Woodstock and Cola. he Offered me a Can. I asked are they cold? he said nope they are warm yet Drinkable. I passed.

Cheers for the info so far guys. Im still not sure if Ill be driving or flying so if flying I might just CBD it and budget for some big taxi bills.

Yeah much more accom in the CBD.
Can catch the Frankston train down to Chelsea and the North Balwyn tram line goes from the CBD out to Doncaster Rd Nth Balwyn which is only a couple of k's from Doncaster

You'd be better off catching a bus to Donny than the tram, she's a fair hike uphill from there and would be a lot quicker as they go along the freeway
