Extending the cabling is the easiest way, it's really not that difficult.
Either in the roof or under the floor is the way to go, you say the floor's out so hopefully you have roof access. If you have plaster covered stud walls there's no reason you can't get a cable through. Find the top or bottom plate and drill a decent sized hole. Unless your house is very old you will have noggins in the wall, you can drill through these with a spade bit and a couple of extensions. Sometimes you can get the cable down through existing routes used for telephone or power.
Craftech extension bits are available from Bunnings, 3 will get to the middle of even a 9 ft wall.
