Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in French Island cost?
Budget hotel prices in French Island vary, but you can find a great deal from £40 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit French Island?
The most affordable time to visit French Island is generally during the cooler off-peak months of autumn and winter, specifically from May to August. During this period, you'll find lower prices on accommodation and potentially cheaper ferry fares due to reduced demand.

For solo travellers, visiting in these quieter months offers a more serene experience, with fewer crowds at attractions and on walking trails. The island's natural beauty, such as the numerous koalas and diverse birdlife, remains accessible and enjoyable, often enhanced by crisp, clear weather great for hiking.

Families might also appreciate the reduced costs and calmer atmosphere. While some island activities are weather-dependent, many outdoor pursuits, like cycling the extensive network of tracks or exploring the beaches, are still pleasant. Accommodation options, which are often self-catering, become even more budget-friendly, allowing families to save on dining out.
How can I save on a budget hotel in French Island with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in French Island. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels.

What free activities should we do in French Island?
French Island offers several wonderful free activities for budget-conscious solo travellers looking to explore its natural beauty. The island's charm lies in its untouched landscapes and unique wildlife, all accessible without spending a penny.

A top recommendation is hiking or cycling the numerous trails that crisscross the island. Solo travellers can enjoy the quiet solitude of the bush, keeping an eye out for koalas in the eucalyptus trees or spotting diverse birdlife. The island's unsealed roads and tracks are superb for a self-guided exploration, offering breathtaking views of Western Port Bay and the mainland.

Another fantastic free activity is wildlife spotting. French Island is a haven for native animals, particularly koalas, which are abundant and often visible in the trees along the roadsides. Travellers can also look out for various bird species, wallabies, and echidnas.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in French Island as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in French Island for you.
