With the nasty weather – cold, damn, gloomy – already present in the Northern Hemisphere, the idea of spending a week (or two) in a warm destination makes us day-dream. But what if you can actually afford to spend several days in a 3-star motel in Australia? A night in 3-star motel in Byron Bay starts at AUD$115 for two persons.
Flights to Australia are cheap as well
When it comes to finding flights to Australia , first you need to decide which airport you’ll be flying into: the closest to the destination or the biggest in the country. Flying into Sydney –the biggest airport in Australia- typically means you’ll find more deals to choose from but sometimes flying into a smaller airport will get you cheaper rates.
Late Deals start at €1,014 for a round trip to Sydney (from London). If you fly into Brisbane, for example, the rates start at €986.50 for a round trip flight (from London).
Accommodation is very cheap in hostels
Staying in hostels in Australia is an excellent choice for many travelers. You don’t need to be the “hostel-type” but you do need to do quite a bit of research before choosing the right hostel for you. There are excellent hostels for families and couples, where you can stay in a private room. But there are also huge, party hostels, where youngsters love to share everything – from the bed to the lounge and … many more.
Hostel rates in Byron Bay start at AUD$35 per night per person in a private room and AUD$25 per night per bed in dorms. In large cities, such as Sydney or Brisbane, you can find dorm beds starting at as little as AUD$19.
Things to remember
November in Sydney is the last month of spring, so the weather will be excellent and the tourists all over the place. The prices for both accommodation and flight tend to increase as the summer season approaches. So if you dream of waiting for Santa in bikini (you, not Santa in bikini!) you should book the flight and accommodation the soonest possible.
Last minute Australia vacation packages might be quite good choices as well, but it’s always risky to rely on such offers. Unless you’ve got a back-up plan.
