Where can I find short term accomodation (for January and February
2005) in Melbourne, Australia at under $100 per night for a 2 bedroom
house or apartment?

Hey terryg,

The following sites feature short stay options that fit your criteria:

Melbourne Stays
http://melbourne.stays.com.au/

Move & Stay

For more just try the following searches in Google:

accommodation + melbourne + victoria

OR

tourism + melbourne + victoria + accommodation

There's plenty of choice, but it's probably advisable to chat to your
travel agent as well, and book well ahead.

Happy trails,

Hi - I imagine that you have already booked, and may already be here
in melbourne, but of course it's worth advising you of
http://www.yha.com.au/ which provides a listing of hostels throughout
Australia. The following address is specifically for hostels in and
around Melbourne --
