I stayed there in 2010 on my way and down and they had just introduced the 5 day stay with no deposit and …. wait for it.. the reason.. because Overlanders had abused the system.
So I suppose it was always going to happen and to be honest if I was the manager of that hotel what gain would I get from allowing a handful of overlanders to park of the ground next to the hotel? No doubt someone has done something one too many times and they have hiked up the prices to get people not to stay.
Hopefully there will be an alternative for everyone..
