About Fossick the company.
Finding accommodation is often a frustrating process. Long lists, a huge array of prices and pretty much everything is in a central location or 1.7km (from what).
Once you’ve been, you can wax lyrical about the best places to stay or spit tacks at your neighbours boasting about the dinky B&B they found at a 1⁄4 of the price.
Surely there has to be an easier way. Now there is!
Spend 5 minutes at the end of your holiday sharing your insights with next week’s quests and next time you book benefit from others insights.
Reviews, ratings and opinions are just that, but there also mighty handy in the decision making process.
- See if a place lives up to the photos?
- After something with character, family friendly?
- It’s a bit out of the way, but a great price?
- Is there a reason it seems too cheap?
Fossick is about creating collective knowledge about our own backyard.
So muck in, get involved and add your 2 cents about the best & worst places to stay.
What makes fossick different!
- Fossick is local. Written by and for fellow Australians and New Zealanders.
- No need to sign up or join. Yesterdays guests can add reviews.
- We're completely independent and unbiased. Fossick does not actually sell any accommodation, so we have no ties to any provider.
- Fossicks approach cuts through the marketing, it’s honest, realistic and to the point. Plus it’s amendable, don’t think we got it right, then change it.
- Hotels, Motels, Hostels & B&B's can add extra detail about themselves
(it’s free). - At Fossick you can’t pay to be at the top of the list, you have to earn it through happy customers.
