The marina idea is a good one. But depends on if you're wanting a bit of shut eye or if you are wanting a full blown nights rest. I'd take the shut eye in some protected water every time.
What Duckman said. Find a quiet spot out of the marina, and anchor up.
Just be very, very sure of the weather conditions for the following day.
My mate and I decided to get some sleep during tea tree a couple of years back. Woke up to a freshening breeze, 5 minutes later, was a full blown storm that had hammered through some 10-12 hours earlier than predicted. Had a nightmare 2 hours getting from North East westernport back to Stony.

I don't know what the cost of this is but it's great idea. You'll get amenities, safety, the boat is already floating and the wind chop in the marina should be greatly reduced. Good thinking Cobby.
It's cheap for what you can get if you use all facilities. Showers, laundry, fuel pump on the water (if needed and separate charge obviously), there's a pub for a meal and froffy and complete 24hr access to the boat. Launch it Friday, retrieve after the presentation Sunday. Convenience alone beats putting up with the hull slap in a backcrusher any day of the week. Get in quick, a lot of locals wet berth for the comp
