Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Sunshine?
The best time to go to Sunshine, New South Wales, is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November).

These periods offer pleasant weather with comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, which means a more relaxed experience at popular spots and potentially better value on accommodation and activities. The ocean temperatures are also still very agreeable for swimming and water sports during these times.

For those seeking warmer weather and a bustling atmosphere, summer (December to February) is also an excellent option. This is the peak season, so expect more people, higher prices, and the need to book well in advance. However, the long, sunny days are superb for beach activities and enjoying the vibrant outdoor lifestyle Sunshine is known for.

If you prefer cooler temperatures and don't mind the occasional rain, winter (June to August) can still be enjoyable. It's a quieter time to visit, and you might find some good deals.
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 to 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 Sunshine hotel for you.
How can I save on a hotel booking in Sunshine with Expedia?
One Key™—Expedia's free travel rewards program—gives you instant access to discounts with Member Prices on Sunshine hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Booking an Expedia hotel and flight package is another great way to save, where bundling can result in significant savings. *Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
How much is the nightly rate for a hotel in Sunshine?

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.
