Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Nicholson cost?
Budget hotel prices in Nicholson vary, but you can find a great deal from £43 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper.

Which area of Nicholson is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
Nicholson, Victoria, Australia, is a small rural community, so the concept of "cheap hotels" in distinct areas doesn't quite apply as it would in a larger city. Instead, budget-conscious travellers will find their best value by looking at accommodation options in the nearby, larger towns of Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance, which offer a broader range of affordable stays and are just a short drive from Nicholson.

For solo travellers, Bairnsdale presents a practical choice. It's the largest town in the East Gippsland region and serves as a major service hub, with several motels and guesthouses that often have competitive pricing. The town centre is walkable, and you'll find local cafes and eateries offering good value meals. Bairnsdale is also well-connected by V/Line train and bus services, making it accessible even without a car.

Couples might prefer Lakes Entrance for its scenic beauty and variety of budget-friendly holiday parks and apartments, many with self-catering facilities. Staying here allows for cost savings on meals by cooking in, and there are plenty of free activities to enjoy, such as strolling along the Esplanade, exploring the beaches, or visiting the iconic footbridge.
When is the most affordable time to visit Nicholson?
The most affordable time to visit Nicholson, Victoria, is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November). These periods avoid the peak summer crowds and prices, offering a more relaxed and budget-friendly experience.

During autumn, the weather is pleasant, with mild temperatures superb for outdoor activities like exploring the Nicholson River or venturing to the nearby Gippsland Lakes. Spring brings blooming wildflowers and comfortable conditions, making it an ideal time for walks and enjoying the natural beauty of the region. For solo travellers, accommodation options tend to be more readily available and cheaper outside of the busy summer months, allowing for greater flexibility in bookings.
Is Nicholson a budget-friendly destination?
While Nicholson is generally considered a more expensive destination due to its idyllic setting and high-quality offerings, travellers can absolutely experience its magic on a budget with some smart planning.

For couples and solo travellers, accommodation can be a significant cost, but looking for holiday rentals or guesthouses a little further from the immediate waterfront can offer better value. Camping and caravan parks in nearby areas also provide a much more economical option, often with excellent facilities.

Eating out can add up quickly, but Nicholson offers opportunities for budget-conscious dining. Look for local bakeries and cafes for breakfast and lunch. Many local markets also sell fresh produce, superb for preparing your own meals if your accommodation has kitchen facilities. Picnics by the river are a delightful and inexpensive way to enjoy the scenery.

Many of Nicholson's best experiences are free or very low cost. Enjoy leisurely walks or cycling along the Nicholson River, take in the serene natural beauty, or spend a day fishing from the riverbanks. The natural surroundings themselves provide ample entertainment.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Nicholson with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Nicholson. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels.

What free activities should we do in Nicholson?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Nicholson, Victoria, there are several wonderful free activities to enjoy that immerse you in the natural beauty of the region.

You can start by exploring the Nicholson River, which offers picturesque walking tracks along its banks. It's a lovely spot for a leisurely stroll, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the peaceful riverside scenery. For those interested in local history, a visit to the Nicholson River Bridge is worthwhile; it's an engineering marvel from a bygone era and offers great photo opportunities.

Another excellent free option is to drive a short distance to the nearby Gippsland Lakes. While some activities on the lakes might incur a cost, simply enjoying the stunning views, finding a quiet spot for a picnic, or walking along the shoreline at places like Metung or Lakes Entrance offers a refreshing and cost-free experience.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Nicholson 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. 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 budget 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 budget hotel in Nicholson for you.
