Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Clifton?
The best time to go to Clifton is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), when the weather is pleasantly mild and the region is less crowded.

Autumn offers warm, sunny days great for exploring the natural beauty of the Illawarra Escarpment and the nearby coastline. The average daytime temperature hovers around 20-25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking along the Sea Cliff Bridge Walk or visiting the local beaches. You'll find fewer tourists than in the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

Spring is another excellent choice, with temperatures ranging from 18-23°C. The landscape comes alive with blooming wildflowers, particularly in the national parks surrounding Clifton. It's a great time for birdwatching and enjoying scenic drives along the Grand Pacific Drive without the intense heat of summer or the cooler temperatures of winter.
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 Clifton hotel for you.
How can I save on a hotel booking in Clifton with Expedia?
One Key™—Expedia's free travel rewards program—gives you instant access to discounts with Member Prices on Clifton hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Booking an Expedia hotel and flight package is another great way to save, where bundling can result in significant savings. *Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
How much is the nightly rate for a hotel in Clifton?
Hotel prices in Clifton often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates and sort search results by 'Price: low to high' for our cheapest rates.
