When is the best time to go to Howard Springs?

The best time to visit Howard Springs is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, you'll experience consistently warm, sunny days with low humidity and very little rain. This makes it ideal for exploring the Howard Springs Nature Park and enjoying outdoor activities comfortably. The temperatures typically range from 20°C to 32°C, which is pleasant for both sightseeing and relaxing. This period is great for families looking to spend time outdoors without the discomfort of the wet season. The wet season, from November to April, brings high humidity, monsoonal rains, and the risk of localised flooding. While the landscape becomes lush and green, some attractions might be less accessible, and the heat can be quite intense.

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 Howard Springs hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Howard Springs hotel?

Hotel prices in Howard Springs 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.

Top Howard Springs Hotel Reviews

Palms City Resort

8/10 Good

"Staff were great, buffet breakfast was worth booking in for"

The Leea Darwin

8/10 Good

"This was my fourth stay at The Leea in the past two years, for both work and leisure. The pools/pool area has had a fantastic makeover, with stylish new daybeds and umbrellas. But, neither pool has any shade and it seems to have attracted a much younger crowd and ‘influencers’. The rooms remain very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the staff are always pleasant and welcoming. Whilst The Leea still has plenty going for it, the overall atmosphere seems to have shifted towards a much younger demographic. As a middle-aged woman who has previously enjoyed staying here, I’m not sure it would be my first choice for my next trip."

Nightcap at the Cavenagh

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for six nights, best decision! Excellent location walking distance to many attractions. Recently renovated rooms, tastefully done with excellent air conditioning. Easy access to pool that is surrounded by relaxing seating. Live music near pool added to ambience, yet my room was quiet. The food in hotel area was consistently of a high standard. The winning point though was the staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful."

Home away from home, plenty of space for your caravan, camper, friends

10/10 Excellent

"Host was very friendly and helpful.House was clean and had good facilities.Was able to parl caravan early and arrange for it to stay a few hours late.Would need a vehicle to get around as it is half an hour from the city. But shops can be walked to.Air con and fans work well.Washing machine and dryer are available.We had an excellent stay."
