Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Cudgen?
The best time to go to Cudgen is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), offering pleasant weather without the peak crowds.

During these months, the weather is typically warm and sunny, with less humidity than the summer months. You'll find fewer visitors compared to the busy summer school holidays, making it easier to enjoy the beaches and local attractions without feeling rushed. This is superb for couples looking for a relaxing escape or families with younger children who prefer a calmer environment.

Summer (December to February) is another popular choice, particularly for families. The weather is hot, superb for beach activities and water sports. However, this is Cudgen's busiest period, especially during school holidays, so you can expect more people and potentially higher prices for accommodation. If you're planning a trip during this time, it's best to book well in advance.

Winter (June to August) brings cooler temperatures and fewer sunny days, but it's still a good time to visit if you prefer cooler weather or are interested in whale watching, as the migrating humpback whales pass by the coast.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.
