When is the best time to go to Cheltenham?

Cheltenham is a suburb of Adelaide, so the best time to visit is generally during Adelaide's shoulder seasons, which are autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November). During these months, you'll experience pleasant, mild weather, making it ideal for exploring both Cheltenham and the wider Adelaide region. Temperatures are comfortable for outdoor activities, and you'll avoid the intense heat of summer and the cooler, wetter days of winter. This period also often sees fewer crowds than the peak summer months, offering a more relaxed experience. If you're interested in attending major events like the Adelaide Fringe Festival or the WOMADelaide music festival, these typically take place in late summer/early autumn (February/March), which can be a lively time to visit despite the warmer temperatures.

Can I cancel my 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 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Cheltenham hotel for you.

Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

The Playford Adelaide MGallery

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful one-night stay. The room was beautifully presented, spacious and exceptionally clean, with the housekeeping team making sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a good selection of options and friendly service. The lobby, restaurant and bar all had a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, making it easy to unwind. Having parking directly across the street was also very convenient. The 24-hour gym and swimming pool were a great added bonus, although we didn’t have time to enjoy them during this visit. Overall, the hotel offered a comfortable and relaxing experience, with attentive service and lovely facilities. We would happily consider staying here again."

Oaks Glenelg Plaza Pier Suites

8/10 Good

"Read some mixed reviews about this hotel and to be honest I think they were generally unfair, I had a beach front 1 bed and it was great! Clean, spacious and unbeatable location overlooking the water. Only thing stopping a 5* rating is WIFI wasn't good enough in the rooms to do Teams or Zoom calls and reception wasn't much better so wouldn't recommend for a business stay but if you dont need that then go for it!"

Little National Hotel Adelaide

10/10 Excellent

"Room was really comfortable and cosy. Staff were lovely and friendly. Parking available next door in a public park, staff advised they could take a payment but thought it was cheaper to pay directly at the park, but unfortunately when I got down to leave the parking lot charged me $53 for an overnight stay. So my only suggestion would he to pay the hotel for parking. Otherwise, great location, clean, comfy and modern hotel. Would stay again."
