Queensland Accommodation

Hotels

International standard hotels are available in Brisbane, Cairns and the Gold Coast together with a high standard of hotel/motel accommodation throughout the state. Information regarding price and location of accommodation can be obtained through Tourism Queensland. Motels are usually in (or on) the outskirts of towns and cities and normally offer self-contained rooms at reasonable rates.

Bed and Breakfast

These are growing in popularity in Australia and certainly in Queensland. Accommodation can range from simple rooms in a family house to beachside lodges, rambling country mansions or converted miners' cottages. Many offer quite luxurious facilities and include a full cooked breakfast.

Self Catering

Self-contained apartments and units are available throughout most of the state, especially the more popular tourist areas and Brisbane. They offer a variety of facilities including full kitchens.

Rural/Farmstay Accommodation

Staying on a farm (or ‘station' as they're known in the outback) is a great way to experience rural Australian life. Most places are very comfortable, offering bed & breakfast type accommodation. Generally lodging is in the homestead itself or in self-contained houses on the property. Cheaper versions offer accommodation in outbuildings or shearer's quarters.

Camping/Caravanning

Parks are located in tourist areas around Queensland, and offer facilities of varying standards. Camping is permitted in national parks and is a great way to explore some of Queensland's best wilderness areas. A number of companies can arrange camper van hire, with a range of fully equipped vehicles. Full details can be obtained from Tourism Queensland.

Youth Hostels

Given the popularity of the state with backpackers, there is budget hostel accommodation available throughout Queensland. Standards range dramatically but the official YHA hostels are usually in good order. It's worth checking out private backpackers too though, as some offer very high standards in this category, including ensuite dorms, double and twin rooms and extensive facilities.
