'We're all out': Family shares heartbreak as NRL forces them out of wedding accommodation

Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles has called on the NRL to do "everything they can" after a family's wedding accommodations were cancelled due to the League's move to the state.

The mother of the bride, Suzie, told 4BC's Neil Breen that more than eight rooms booked by the wedding party had been cancelled last night – just three days before the event.

Suzie said she had only found out about the cancellations because her brother, travelling from Melbourne, had received an email from Novotel Twin Waters.

"My brother rang me about 6:50pm last night to say he got an email ... saying his accommodation had been cancelled due to it becoming a quarantine hotel," Suzie said.

"I'm out; we're all out … we had about eight to 10 rooms booked."

Fortunately, the family have since been able to find new accommodation but are scattered across the area and are now trying to organise transportation.

"Obviously my money is not good enough, so the NRL are more important than me," Suzie said.

Twelve NRL clubs and their families are making the move to Queensland for at least a month following Sydney's COVID-19 outbreak.

The Newcastle Knights, Penrith Panthers, Sydney Roosters and Manly Sea Eagles are moving into the Novotel accommodation on the Sunshine Coast today.

When approached by 9News a Novotel Representative refused to comment on the situation.

When asked about the family's circumstances this morning, Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles said there "obviously" wasn't enough empty hotels for the teams to move into.

"There weren't three empty hotels or resorts that the NRL could move into," Mr Miles said.

"That has meant that some guests and reservations have been displaced."

Instead of offering government support, Mr Miles suggested that the NRL should "assist" and "compensate" the family for the trouble.

"I'd simply call on the NRL to do everything they can to accommodate this wedding to help them to find an alternative venue and to appropriately assist and compensate them.
