"I really enjoyed this hotel, highly recommend! The parking is a little to much $100 a night for their parking but they do have a parking garage to even a block from it that wasn’t bad at walking distance!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Picnic Valley?
The best time to visit Picnic Valley is during the spring (April to early June) and autumn (September to October) months. These periods offer the most pleasant weather conditions for exploring the area.

Spring brings mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, and the valley is in full bloom. The wildflowers are particularly striking, especially along the trails in the National Park. It's an excellent time for nature lovers and families who enjoy hiking and outdoor activities without the intense summer heat.

Autumn also provides comfortable temperatures, usually between 18°C and 28°C, and the landscape transforms with vibrant fall colours. The grape harvest is in full swing during this time, making it ideal for couples interested in wine tasting and vineyard tours. The crowds are also generally smaller than in the peak summer months.

While summer (July and August) is popular, temperatures can soar above 30°C, and the area can be quite busy.
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 Picnic Valley hotel for you.
How much is the nightly rate at a Picnic Valley hotel?
Hotel prices in Picnic Valley 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.
