Places to Stay in Australia

There are a lot of different places to stay in Australia.

What accommodation you are looking at depends on what kind of holiday you are having.

Hotels are usually centrally located and handiest on a city visit, while motels and caravan parks are often near main roads and handier if you have your own transport. Most caravan parks also have cabins but if you travel with a tent or in a caravan, their caravan and camping sites are the best value. And guess what? In Australia, there are a lot of places to camp for FREE! More below...

Camping in Australia

But if you like the outdoors, you will find that some great places to stay in Australia are camping grounds. That is, of course, if you travel with a tent or a camper/caravan.

Australia has a warm climate so you can camp all year around (you better move north during the winter months).

Camping and getting around in your own (or hired) vehicle also gives you all the freedom to stop wherever you like.

And on top of that, camping is by far the cheapest type of accommodation.

In fact - in Australia, a lot of camping simply is FREE!!!
