When is the best time to go to Mandalong?

The best time to go to Mandalong is during the autumn (March to May) or spring (September to November) months, when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities. During these periods, you'll find comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from the low 20s to high 20s Celsius, with less humidity than the summer months. This makes it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the area, including walks and enjoying the local wildlife without the intense heat or the cooler, wetter conditions of winter. Families often find spring particularly appealing due to the blooming flora and the chance to observe young wildlife. The milder weather makes outdoor excursions with children much more enjoyable, allowing for longer periods of exploration in the surrounding bushland and along the lake. Couples looking for a relaxing escape might prefer autumn. The slightly cooler evenings are great for enjoying a quiet dinner or a glass of local wine by a fireplace, and the landscape often takes on beautiful colours.

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 Mandalong hotel for you.

Best Western Plus Apollo Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Our 3rd stay and still very impressed with the hotel. Well price with good sized room, bathroom & ample parking. The restaurant has an excellent range of dishes and we have not been disappointed with our choice. Staff were always helpful and cheerful about it."

Hotel Gosford

10/10 Excellent

"Good to be able to stay in Gosford on a reduced nightly tariff from the motels. Shared bathrooms are all well appointed, recently renovated. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Good food in the hotel. Amazing old elevator. Very easy place to stay. All very good, except for phone contact numbers - mobile provides no contact with advice to ring 000 if have an emergency then shuts off, landline goes to AI assistant which says will pass issue onto a staff member for them to contact you but it never happpened."

The Esplanade Motel

8/10 Good

"I’ve had two stays here over the last two weeks. On both occasions, for the most part everything was great. My only disappointment, was has greasy/slippery the bathroom floor was in room 5, and the amount of dirt at the bottom of the shower floor in room 6. The toilet also need a good clean. That aside, I was very happy with my stay. Good parking, lovely room, coffee van right outside, great location, friendly staff."
