I am a travel agent based in Perth and the likelyhood of accommodation going up 40% is very unlikely. Travel Agents are USUALLY advised of any increases and in my office we always advise our clients of any price rise that is due to occur. there is usually a date advised to us to pay by to protect from any increase.
I would always recommend to pay early if you are in the position to do so. Nothing in the travel industry is set in concrete even if you have paid a deposit. hope that helps.
