When is the best time to go to Farrar?

The best time to visit Farrar is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, the weather is consistently pleasant, with warm days and cooler nights, and very little rainfall. This makes it ideal for exploring the outdoor attractions and enjoying activities without the humidity and heavy downpours of the wet season. You'll find it comfortable for walking and sightseeing. Families often find the dry season particularly appealing due to the stable weather conditions. It's superb for visiting nearby Litchfield National Park, where the waterfalls are still flowing beautifully but access to swimming spots is generally easier and more dependable. The wildlife viewing opportunities are also excellent during this period. For those planning an adventurous trip, the dry season offers the best conditions for exploring the wider Northern Territory. Roads are typically open and accessible, making day trips to areas like Kakadu National Park or Katherine Gorge much more straightforward and enjoyable.

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 Farrar hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Farrar hotel?

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.

Palms City Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely resort - the gardens give it a really lovely relaxed, tropical feel. Blockout curtains are great for sleep and the breakfast is excellent value. Location is also excellent. The Services Club just down the road is great for meals and drinks. Would definitely stay again!"
