Tips for finding cheap rooms in Australia & the South Pacific

• Seasons are reversed from the Northern Hemisphere — December to February is summer and school-holiday peak in Australia and New Zealand.
• Long-haul flights often land early in the morning; book the night before your arrival or ask about early check-in so you have a room when you land.
• On islands such as Fiji and Bora Bora, check what is included — meals, transfers and resort fees can add a lot to the headline rate.
• Rates jump around Christmas, New Year and big events such as Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks — book early for those dates.
