Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Smiths Beach cost?
Budget hotel prices in Smiths Beach vary, but you can find a great deal from £47 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.
Which area of Smiths Beach is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers looking for affordable accommodation in Smiths Beach, focusing on areas slightly inland from the immediate beachfront can often yield better value. While Smiths Beach itself is a relatively compact coastal village, surrounding areas like Cowes or even further afield towards San Remo offer more diverse and competitive lodging options.

Smiths Beach has a limited number of hotels, so expanding your search to nearby Cowes is often the most practical approach for finding more affordable rooms. Cowes, being the main town on Phillip Island, has a greater selection of guesthouses, motels, and holiday park cabins that cater to a wider range of budgets. From Cowes, you can easily access Smiths Beach by local bus services or a short drive.

Alternatively, consider San Remo, located just off Phillip Island on the mainland. While it requires a slightly longer commute to Smiths Beach, San Remo often presents even more budget-friendly accommodation, particularly for solo travellers who don't mind a bit of travel to save on nightly rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Smiths Beach?
The most affordable time to visit Smiths Beach, Victoria, is generally during the shoulder seasons or the off-peak winter months, outside of school holidays and major events. These periods offer lower accommodation prices and fewer crowds, making it easier to find good deals.

For solo travellers, visiting in late autumn (April-May) or early spring (September-October) provides a pleasant climate without the summer price surge. You'll find quieter beaches, more availability in guesthouses and smaller hotels, and potentially discounted rates on activities like surf lessons or equipment hire.

Families might consider the winter months (June-August) for significant savings, especially if they are prepared for cooler weather. While surfing might be less appealing for beginners, the crisp air is superb for coastal walks, exploring the geological formations, and enjoying the cosy atmosphere of local cafes.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Smiths Beach with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Smiths Beach. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels.

For couples and solo travellers, exploring the stunning coastline is a must. You can take leisurely walks along the sandy shores of Smiths Beach, enjoying the ocean breeze and searching for seashells. Nearby, the scenic coastal trails, such as those leading towards YCW Beach or along the headlands, provide breathtaking views and opportunities for birdwatching.

The area is also fantastic for picnicking; simply pack your own food and find a picturesque spot with ocean vistas.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Smiths Beach 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 Smiths Beach for you.
