Luxury	AUD 285

When travellers from Australia book

Klook booking data shows November is the priciest month, with typical nightly rates around AUD 341, while June has the lowest typical rate at AUD 188, so a budget-led trip is usually best planned for June. Most travellers lock in rooms about 45 days ahead, and the earliest planners book around 110 days before travel. Because many book roughly 45 days out, it pays to book earlier for stays in November when rates are higher.
