I agree central to the majority of others is ideal (no pun intended) and I would be willing to pay slightly extra for each night given it will be offset the cost of the extra distance in a taxi anyway
Interestingly I have found a 28 bed dorm room right in the city for like $26 a bed!
My only problem with getting the house or any of the places at Surry Hill area now is that I would like to party/go out/hang out with as many people as possible. And I can see this hindering the chance to do that as we will have to catch a train into the city to where most ppl are...then train back to Surry then possibly taxi back to accom......at 3 in the morning when Im drunk....that sounds like a serious mission!
I have also found another pretty nice looking place in the City with a 10 bed dorm for like $34 per person per night.
Let me know peoples thoughts I will update the OP with the new places once I get a chance!
A lot of surry hills is pretty much right next to central station, so basically right in the middle of the city. Just so ya know. Redfern is one stop away 5minutes on the train, or a very cheap cab ride away.

I'm staying at the City Hotel Wed night, With crew Thurs - Sunday night @ ????, then the Pullman Sydney Hyde Park (formerly Marriott Sydney) from Mon - Tues in the CBD
Probably best not to rely on taxis in the city. They still have a habit of picking and choosing only fares that are worth their time. That's assuming you can flag one down in the first place.
Backpackers right next to Central Station. A 10 person Dorm Room for $34 per person per night.
We can organise to have less people on the Friday and Sunday nights.
At the moment can I please get confirmed numbers! Please only respond if you are 100% going to be coming. Then I will probably look at getting some form of deposit/guarantee before booking.
Yea that sounds ok to me if everyone else wants it and enough room for everyone. It's closer to the city for those that want it, and about 1km (9minute walk) from where Team Nv (not sure who) are staying. It's also across the road from the train station for those that need that.
It will be easier to manage than a house (no big bond), and it's easier to organised people arriving and leaving at different days.
It's ~30 minute walk to the venue (1.6km)
