- Who it suits
- Travellers on a tight budget who only need a bed.
- Why we would choose it
- It is one of the cheapest places we found within 25 minutes of the airport.
- The compromise
- It is a pub, so expect noise on a weekend night, and check how late the front desk or key collection runs before a late arrival. It is a taxi from the airport, with no shuttle found.
- Worth paying more?
- This is the budget choice. Pay more only for quiet and a guaranteed late check-in.

If this is not right for you
Other stays we recommend on the same short list, and what you trade by choosing them.
Wallacia Hotel
Typical total A$161–A$345
A country hotel, not an airport hotel. We found no shuttle, so you need a taxi or car, and a dawn taxi may need booking ahead.
