4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Sunshine Coast

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit the Sunshine Coast is during May, June, and August, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For an enriching experience, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully explore the area's significant landmarks and cultural attractions. Highlights include family-friendly beaches, romantic dining options, vibrant shopping districts, and cultural experiences that celebrate the local history. Additionally, visitors can enjoy sunny weather perfect for surfing or a relaxing spa day, ensuring a great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for Sunshine Coast accommodation, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re more likely to see the best options. With these resources, you can easily keep track of your favourite hotels and their availability.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay at a hotel in the Sunshine Coast. If you're in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and could offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
