I had a comfortable 3-night stay at this hotel. The room was clean and quiet, and the staff were very friendly, especially Jennifer. It’s so close to Southern Cross that I could go everywhere easily. Would definitely stay here again!

Custom build your Research package from as low as AU$418. Choose from any combination of flights, hotels and rental cars to pull together the getaway you've been dreaming about. Remember to add on some activities and experiences!
How do I get a cheap travel package to Research?
One of the easiest ways to save money (and time) is to combine your bookings with Expedia. Hotels, flights, activities and rental cars — we've got everything you need. Choose a combination that best fits you and watch your savings stack up. We know a package deal is never a one-size-fits-all.

Where should I stay in Research?
Make sightseeing easy by staying someplace close to Research's iconic attractions. Dandenong Ranges National Park and Puffing Billy Steam Train are two of the best in the area.
How far in advance should I book my Research holiday?
It depends on the air carrier, but you can usually look up international fares on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. While it's generally recommended to book ahead of time, lucky travellers will sometimes nab a cheaper seat just weeks prior to the date of departure.
What does an Expedia Research travel package include?
That depends on what you want. If you're travelling alone, you might decide to combine flights and hotels. Bringing the whole crew to Research? A travel package including flights, hotels and rental cars might be a better fit. Expedia gives you the freedom and flexibility to customize your travel package.

You can. We get that even the best-laid plans can fail, so we're happy to help if you have to make changes to your Research holiday package. It may be possible to change or cancel your itinerary for free if you've booked within 24 hours. Your hotel, airline or car rental company may charge you a fee if you booked more than 24 hours ago. Visit our Customer Service Portal for more information. Also, be sure to check your itinerary for the finer details on change fees.
