Accommodation

Wherever you lay your head, Australia has plenty to choose from. In a country as popular with visitors as this is, competition is fierce, prices reasonable and standards are high. And there’s something for everyone, from shacks in tropical gardens to honeymoon island bungalows, high-rise chic to boutique B&Bs and of course the ubiquitous backpacker hostels – among the best backpacker facilities in the world.

You can have a clean dormitory bunk bed from less than £10 a night, or a swanky hotel suite for up to £300 a night. Prices are typically on a par with mainland Europe or slightly cheaper. And there’s everything in between – teepees, surf shacks, treehouses, safari tents, yacht cabins, alpine lodges, desert swags and more.
In a country that welcomes millions of tourists every year there is a bed for everyone.

We’re providing an overview of the different accommodation types available, and pointing you in the right direction towards finding a room where you want it.
