Home Hosting - rooms available

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. Phone enquiries are available on 0467 621 900.

Now you can either book and pay online, or download a manual registration form which you can post, email or fax back to us.

Motel Accommodation remaining for the 2012 Festival

Please note that given the popularity and growth surge of the festival, most of the hotels and motels in Parkes and the surrounding area are often booked out during the Elvis Festival the previous January.

Your best options of obtaining Motel style accommodation in Parkes at Festival time, is to bring your own caravan/ motorhome/ tent and stay in a Caravan Park or at the Showground; to stay locally with friends or family; to participate in the Home Hosting program; or to stay at Tent City.

You may also wish to try neighbouring towns or add your details to waiting lists at local establishments. For a full list of accommodation opportunities in Parkes and nearby towns including contact details and availabilities in 2012 click here.
