When is the best time to go to Waterfall?

The best time to go to Waterfall, New South Wales, is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months. During these periods, the weather is generally mild and pleasant, with comfortable temperatures for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the Royal National Park. You'll avoid the hotter, more humid summer months and the cooler, wetter winter. Spring is particularly lovely as the native wildflowers are in bloom, adding vibrant colours to the landscape. This makes it an excellent time for nature enthusiasts and photographers to visit. The waterfalls themselves are usually flowing well after any winter rains. Autumn offers similarly agreeable weather, often with clearer skies.

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 Waterfall hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Waterfall hotel?

Top Waterfall Hotel Reviews

Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Upgrade, friendly staff"

Pullman Sydney Airport

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the Pullman Sydney Airport Hotel for three nights last week and, unfortunately, the experience fell short of the standard we would normally expect from the Pullman brand. The room had several issues, including staining on the carpet in multiple locations, a refrigerator that did not maintain a sufficiently cold temperature to keep milk properly chilled, and a non-functioning bathroom nightlight. We were also disappointed to find that valet parking was no longer available, as this is a service we would normally associate with a hotel of this calibre. On our first night, we ordered room service. While the meal was acceptable, the chicken wings ordered by my wife were coated in an excessively hot sauce that made them almost inedible. Overall, these issues detracted from our stay and left us disappointed. We expect a higher level of room maintenance, functionality and service from a Pullman property, and we hope management will address these concerns to bring the hotel back up to its usual standard."

The Branksome Hotel And Residences

8/10 Good

"The hotel was generally good, with a quiet and convenient location and easy access to the domestic airport. The bed was comfortable, and overall, it was a pleasant place to stay. However, the check-in experience was frustrating. I had paid for parking, but this had not been registered in the hotel’s system, so I had to email the confirmation. I had also booked a two-bedroom room but was initially given a studio instead. Although I was eventually moved to the correct room, one of the bedrooms was locked, and it took another hour and a half after check-in for someone to come and unlock it. After a long journey, I was tired and disappointed to have to spend so much time sorting out these issues. A smoother check-in process and better room preparation would have made a big difference to my stay."
