Your Australia Cheap Holiday

Australia is known for its native wildlife, sun-soaked beaches and buzzing cities. From the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Great Barrier Reef, awe-inspiring attractions are all around the country. Better yet, Expedia has vacation packages with airfare included so you can easily see the major bucket list items. Whether you imagine yourself learning to surf, swimming with dolphins or touring the Red Centre, you can make your daydreams a reality with Expedia’s cheap holiday packages.

If you’re looking for cheap holiday destinations in Australia, big cities like Sydney and Melbourne may seem like an obvious choice. There are so many things to keep you entertained, from the museums and monuments to the events and nightlife. That being said, visiting smaller cities and regional areas could help you create a more wallet-friendly holiday, with cheaper accommodation and the same amount of fun. With Expedia’s flights and hotel packages, you can see more for less, and the more you bundle, the more you save. Taste the flavours of a barbecue in the outback, toast your trip at the Sydney Opera House or watch a lively tennis match at the Australian Open in Melbourne. 

Along with meals and entertainment, these budget travel packages may even cover a cocktail by the pool – perfect for those who are looking to bask in the weather and enjoy a laid-back holiday. Australia’s untouched natural splendour, native wildlife and endless events are just a handful of reasons to book a vacation today. Topped with warm-hearted locals, unique attractions and stunning scenery, the memories from your package getaway will last a lifetime.

FAQs: Finding cheap holidays in Australia

What's included in a cheap Australian holiday package?

You can find cheap Australian holiday packages that include flights and accommodation. Once you’ve booked your packages with flights, you can add extras like seat selection, luggage, activities, tours and car rental. Not only can you organise every last detail, but a holiday package can help you make the most out of your trip. 

What should I think about when I book an Australian cheap package?

When booking cheap vacations in Australia, there are many things to take into consideration. Firstly, there’s the sheer size of this country, so location is key. Book accommodation that’s centrally located and close to transport. The bigger cities are well-connected and generally offer a range of accommodations. In Sydney, for example, The Grace Hotel is a stone’s throw from Wynyard Light Rail Stop, while the ibis budget Sydney East is near Circular Quay, has connections to ferries, trains and buses nearby.

What budget activities can I do on a cheap Australia holiday?

Australia is one of the world’s best destinations for beach holidays. You can enjoy water activities like paddle boarding, kayaking and surfing for an affordable price. Otherwise, do some research on all the free or cheap activities and attractions on offer throughout Australia. Soak up the views aboard a ferry in Sydney for a cheap way to see the harbour, visit the permanent collection at the National Museum in Canberra for free, or walk through Noosa National Park where you’ll pay nothing for priceless views of the coast.

Where can I go for a cheap weekend getaway in Australia?

From Phillip Island to the Gold Coast, there are many budget-friendly weekend getaways in Australia. Whether you want to go hiking in the Blue Mountains or ride the free city circle tram in Melbourne, most destinations offer affordable activities. Melbourne boasts free museums, accessible beaches and art-filled alleyways around the city centre.

What cheap island holidays are available in Australia?

You can find plenty of resort packages in top destinations around Australia, including Lady Musgrave Island, Kangaroo Island and Rottnest Island. One of the best cheap island holidays is on Magnetic Island where you can come face to face with the colourful Great Barrier Reef. There’s lots of wildlife around, so look for koalas, echidnas, sharks, turtles, manta rays and more. 

What can I do on a cheap holiday package in Australia?

Once you’ve got your holiday rentals and flights booked, it’s time to think about the activities you want to do. Australia is home to an abundance of wallet-friendly things to do, from surfing and swimming to embarking on a road trip. You can see wildlife in the national parks, visit free art museums in the cities and even attend free or cheap music events and comedy shows. From the activities and attractions on the East Coast of Australia to all the things you can do in the Top End, Expedia can help you create a holiday within your budget.

Can I book a cheap Australia package with free cancellation and/or flexible dates?

When looking for cheap holiday packages to Australia, flexibility is key. You can search for accommodation with free cancellation and pay later options. If your plans change at the last minute, this is a convenient and cost-effective option. In general, you don’t have to pay a fee if you change or cancel within 24 hours of making the booking, but this can vary depending on your hotel, airline, car rental company or activity provider. Refer to Expedia’s Customer Service Portal for information on trip planning.

Why should I book my cheap Australia package tour with Expedia?

Booking hotels, flights, car rental and activities separately can add up quickly. Not only can you save money with Expedia, but you can save time so that you can focus on enjoying your vacation rather than organising every last detail. There’s a wide range of cheap Australia vacations, from the beaches to the outback.
