When is the best time to go to The Caves?

The best time to go to The Caves is during the dry season, from April to October, when the weather is most pleasant for exploring. During these months, you'll experience mild temperatures and lower humidity, making outdoor activities like cave tours and bushwalking much more enjoyable. The clear skies and comfortable conditions are ideal for making the most of your visit to destinations such as the Capricorn Caves. This period is particularly good for families looking for an adventure without the discomfort of intense heat or tropical downpours.

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 The Caves hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a The Caves hotel?

Hotel prices in The Caves 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 The Caves Hotel Reviews

The Edge Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay! The hotel was spotlessly clean, and the staff were amazing — so friendly, welcoming and incredibly helpful with everything. The balcony was absolutely huge and overlooked the river, which made the stay even more special. Everything was wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be staying again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay!"

Coral Inn Boutique Motel

8/10 Good

"A Wonderful and Unique Place to Stay I recently stayed at Coral Inn Boutique Accommodation in Yeppoon and had a wonderful experience. The staff were absolutely lovely, welcoming and genuinely friendly. A special mention goes to the housekeeper, who was amazing. Her warm, cheerful personality and attention to detail really stood out and made the stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were beautifully presented, exceptionally clean and thoughtfully maintained. The accommodation has a unique charm and character that sets it apart from your typical motel or hotel, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. It’s refreshing to stay somewhere that takes pride in both its presentation and customer service. I would happily recommend Coral Inn Boutique Accommodation to anyone visiting Yeppoon and would certainly stay again."
