Choosing an accommodation type can be a little tricky, with so many styles and brands out there, you want to find one that is a perfect fit for you.

Whether it be just a place to rest your head at night, a fully serviced room with all the bells and whistles, or home away from home with the creature comforts, the options are endless.

Here are just a few accommodation types that are available around Australia.

Hotels

Hotel-Kurrajong-Reception.66-1

Motels

Take a rest from your road trip at a motel, which offers comfortable accommodation at a reasonable price. Rooms typically include a private bath or shower, television, tea and coffee-making facilities and a small fridge. Most have in-room breakfast menus, while the larger ones have restaurants.

Serviced apartments and holiday units

Enjoy space, privacy and the convenience of kitchen and laundry facilities in a self-contained apartment or holiday unit. These are an ideal, cost-effective option if you are traveling with a family or large group or want to spend more than a couple of days in one place. Spread out in the living areas and enjoy cooking your own meals. You’ll find serviced and non-serviced options depending on where you stay.

Resorts

Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort Pool

Relax in a resort where everything you need is in reach. You’ll enjoy spacious, high-quality accommodation and a huge range of guest services, tours and activities. Australian resorts are the ideal way to relax in stunning natural locations – from Queensland’s Hamilton Island to the wine country of South Australia. The activities are tailored to your location, so depending where you are, you can hit the ski slopes, go scuba diving or sip cocktails by the pool.

Bed and breakfasts

Stay in a bed-and-breakfast for a welcoming family feel and hearty home-cooked meals. You’ll find these small, family-run establishments everywhere, from historic houses to miners’ cottages, country homesteads to inner-city townhouses. They offer comfortable rooms at a reasonable price and the owners are often a good source of information.

Farm stays

Cottages-Cows-1024x679

Wake with the rooster crow on a small farm or learn to shear sheep on an outback station of more than a million acres. Sleep in basic beds under a tin roof or enjoy luxurious accommodation on a rambling homestead. On a farm stay, you can experience the wide open spaces going horse riding, fishing, swimming and bushwalking. Get into the daily routine mending fences, mustering cattle from horseback, yabbying or driving a four wheel drive across the property. Experience misty mornings and rusty red sunsets, hearty country food and open campfires. You can even end your day in a warm artesian spa under the stars. Farm stays let you leave the hustle of city life behind for country hospitality and back-to-basic living on the land.
