When is the best time to go to Avalon?

The best time to go to Avalon is during the Australian summer, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the coastal activities. During these months, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 26°C, making it ideal for swimming, surfing, and relaxing on the beach. This period also coincides with the school holidays, so the town has a lively option with many events and outdoor activities available. It's a great time for families looking for a classic beach holiday. For those who prefer slightly milder weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are still pleasant, typically between 15°C and 22°C, and you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area without the peak season bustle.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Avalon hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Avalon hotel?

Hotel prices in Avalon often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Wyndham Resort Torquay

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Property and Location"

Rydges Geelong

8/10 Good

"We liked the presentation of the property and convenience of location. What wasn’t so good was the food offerings. There was no option for something small at breakfast. You had two choices, a full or a continental breakfast. Also we booked a cab and the receptionist told us to sit down away from the entry and he would tell us when the taxi arrived. After a long wait we asked where the taxi was and he said it had been taken by someone else. He ordered another but it was then a mad rush to catch our train."
