Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Gonubie cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Gonubie vary, but you can find a great deal from £31 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Gonubie is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Gonubie for beaches is along the main beachfront stretch, particularly around Gonubie Main Beach and its immediate surroundings.

This area is the heart of Gonubie's coastal appeal. It's centred around Gonubie Main Beach, a Blue Flag beach known for its long stretch of sand and the Gonubie Boardwalk, which offers excellent views of the ocean and coastline. Hotels and guesthouses here often have direct beach access or are just a short walk away. The main road, Gonubie Main Road, runs parallel to the beach for a good portion, making it easy to find accommodation with sea views.

Families will find this area particularly appealing. With the beach right on your doorstep, it's easy to spend full days swimming, building sandcastles, or exploring the rock pools at low tide. The boardwalk is also great for morning strolls or evening walks, and there are often lifeguards on duty during peak season, adding to the peace of mind for parents.

For couples seeking a relaxing seaside getaway, staying near Gonubie Main Beach offers convenience and scenic beauty. You can enjoy sunrises over the ocean, leisurely walks along the sand, and easy access to local eateries with sea views.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Gonubie?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Gonubie is during the summer months, from December to February. This period sees average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 26°C, creating ideal conditions for enjoying Gonubie's beautiful beaches and water activities. You'll find the coastline lively with families and couples making the most of the warm ocean and abundant sunshine. It's a fantastic time for swimming, surfing, and long walks along the shore, with all beachside amenities and restaurants operating at full capacity.

As another option, April offers a wonderful alternative. The weather remains pleasantly warm, typically between 18°C and 24°C, which is still excellent for beach holidays. During April, you may find better value on hotel stays and it can be easier to secure reservations at the most sought-after beachfront properties.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Gonubie with Expedia?

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking.

What beach activities should we do in Gonubie?
The best beach activities in Gonubie revolve around its main attraction, Gonubie Beach, and the Gonubie River mouth.

Gonubie Beach is a Blue Flag beach, meaning it meets high environmental and quality standards. It's known for its long stretch of golden sand, which is superb for leisurely walks or simply relaxing under the sun. A prominent feature is the wooden boardwalk that extends along the coastline, offering lovely views of the ocean and the river mouth. This area is great for families, as the beach is generally calm and well-maintained. Children can enjoy building sandcastles, paddling in the shallows, or exploring the rock pools at low tide.

For those who enjoy water sports, the Gonubie River mouth provides an excellent setting. You can try stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking in the calmer waters of the river. The river also offers good opportunities for fishing, with many locals casting their lines from the banks or the bridge. Couples might enjoy a romantic stroll along the boardwalk at sunset, or a quiet morning walk along the beach to watch the sunrise.

Beyond the beach itself, there's a tidal pool that's great for a contained swim, especially for families with younger children.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Gonubie as a package?
Booking a beach 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 a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. 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 beach hotel in Gonubie for you.
