Hotels in Australia: How to Find the Perfect Place to Stay
Planning your next trip to Australia? Whether you’re after beachfront resorts, chic city stays, or budget-friendly rooms, you’ll find the best hotel options with Enjoy Travel.
Why Visit Australia?
One of the most unique countries in the world, Australia is a hugely popular destination for Canadians to visit. With direct flights operating from Vancouver and most other flights from major international airports requiring just one connection, Australia is fairly easy to reach by air from Canada. With world-famous sites, incredible beaches, an outdoor lifestyle and culture, and the huge advantage of winter sun, Australia is a wonderful country to visit for your next vacation.
The best time of year to visit Australia largely depends on what you want from your visit and where you want to go. However, generally, September to March (spring and summer) offer the more pleasant weather in the south of the country, whereas if you’re planning on visiting the tropical north, May to October is generally best, as this is when it experiences its dry season.
Best Hotels in Australia for Every Traveler
There are thousands of hotels across Australia, suitable for all types of travelers.
Luxury: Some of the best luxury stays in Australia are in the country’s major cities, such as the Park Hyatt in Sydney and The Ritz-Carlton in Melbourne. However, even if you’re looking for a luxury escape, there are some stunning remote luxury escapes, like Lizard Island Resort, set on Lizard Island just above the Great Barrier Reef.
Boutique: Few Australian cities have better boutique hotels than Melbourne, which has a bougie and homely vibe to it: the Adelphi Hotel and Laneways are two of the best. Others include The Incholm (Brisbane) and The Garde Hotel (Perth).
Family-Friendly: Australia is one of the best countries for families to visit, and their hotel selection also reflects this. RACV (Noosa Heads), Turtle Beach Resort (Gold Coast) and Oaks Oasis Resort (Sunshine Coast) are some of the country’s best.
Budget: Australia can be expensive to visit, but don’t worry if you’re traveling on a budget! There are still lots of budget-friendly hotels in Australia, with prices under $50 CAD per night. Some of these include Glenayr Farm (Windeyer, NSW – $46 CAD per night) and Forrest Beach Hotel (Forrest Beach, QLD – $20 per night).
How to Find Great Hotel Deals in Australia
Ensure that you book early for the best deals on hotels in Australia – at least one month is recommended.
Depending on when you visit can also affect the price – visiting in Australia’s winter (for the southern states) during June to September can also decrease the price of your visit.
Make sure to compare any prices you find on Enjoy Travel to secure the very best deals.
Choosing The Perfect Hotel in Australia
There are plenty of different hotels for your needs in Australia. Because it is essentially a whole continental landmass, the climate varies across the continent and throughout the year. For example, Darwin in the north has an almost equatorial climate, while it’s not uncommon for Melbourne in the southeast to get snow in the winter months. Here are some ways in which you can choose the perfect hotel in Australia:
Sunshine and Beach Vacations: If you’re a sun-worshipper, then unsurprisingly, one of the best places you can visit is the Sunshine Coast in Queensland (QLD), which experiences over 300 days of sunshine a year. Even in the winter, southern Queensland (including the Gold Coast and Brisbane) usually experiences temperatures of around 22℃.
City Living: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide are all popular cities for those wanting to experience city life in Australia. They all have the advantage of being coastal, so you can expect to do some swimming and sunbathing in the summer months.
Off-Grid Travel: The Blue Mountains in New South Wales, various small towns outside of Hobart (Tasmania), and Alice Springs are great places to stay if you want a quieter, more remote break in Australia.
Must-See Attractions in Australia
Uluru: A huge sandstone monolith in the Outback, this is the symbol of Aboriginal Australia. You may have heard it referred to by its Western name before, too: Ayre’s Rock.
Sydney Harbour: The largest natural harbour in the world, Sydney Harbour is home to two of the world’s most famous and easily recognizable monuments – Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House – as well as numerous eateries, hotels, beaches and all-round good Aussie vibes.
The Great Barrier Reef: In far north Queensland, one of the world’s most impressive natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef, is a must-see if you’re traveling to north-eastern Australia.
Nightlife and Entertainment in Australia
Sydney is home to some of Australia’s most vibrant nightlife, especially in areas such as Byron Bay and Bondi Beach, which are just as lively in the day as they are at night.
Rooftop bars in the summer are the places to be in Australia, with many staying open until the sun comes up in cities such as Melbourne and Brisbane.
Live music is also a popular pastime in Australia, and many local artists play their own music as well as covers in bars and clubs across the country, from Perth to Sydney and everywhere in between.
Travel Tips for Australia
It is not common to tip in Australia, unless you feel like you have received exceptional service, as staff are paid a higher living wage than in places like the USA, so they do not rely on tips to make a living.
Formal culture is not very common in Australia, and the Australians (or ‘Aussies’) are known for their friendly, laid-back nature. ‘Mate’ is a term used interchangeably between men and women, and Australians will almost always introduce themselves by their first name.
Australia’s currency is the Australian dollar (AUD), and it is almost exactly equivalent to a Canadian dollar, with $1 CAD equalling $0.92 AUD.
Plan Your Stay in Australia
Whatever you want from your Australian vacation – a sun tan or a whole new cultural experience – the options are limitless. With direct flights from Vancouver, it’s only one – or two – flights away. You can visit Australia at any time of year and expect great weather, better vibes and unforgettable memories, leaving you wanting to return time and time again.
