When travellers from Australia book

Klook booking data show rates are lowest in October at typically around AUD 146 and highest in July at typically around AUD 285, so October suits a budget-led trip thanks to its lower typical rate. Travellers typically lock a room about 24 days ahead, and earliest planners book around 55 days ahead; rooms here are usually available at short notice, so plans can stay flexible, though booking earlier helps in the priciest months, according to Klook booking data.
