Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Picnic Valley?
The best time to visit Picnic Valley is during the spring (April to early June) and autumn (September to October) months. These periods offer the most pleasant weather conditions for exploring the area.

Spring brings mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, and the valley is in full bloom. The wildflowers are particularly striking, especially along the trails in the National Park. It's an excellent time for nature lovers and families who enjoy hiking and outdoor activities without the intense summer heat.

Autumn also provides comfortable temperatures, usually between 18°C and 28°C, and the landscape transforms with vibrant fall colours. The grape harvest is in full swing during this time, making it ideal for couples interested in wine tasting and vineyard tours. The crowds are also generally smaller than in the peak summer months.

While summer (July and August) is popular, temperatures can soar above 30°C, and the area can be quite busy.
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 Picnic Valley hotel for you.

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.
