Hotels and accommodation in Victoria from AU$21

Victoria packs a lot in. From Melbourne’s laneway lattes to the Grampians’ granite peaks, you’re never far from a good meal, a gallery or a bush trail. Travellers come for long weekend winery tours, surf coast road trips, and cool-climate getaways that come with wood fires and wildlife. Some book apartments right in the CBD for festival season, others head for beach shacks on the Mornington Peninsula or forest lodges in the Dandenongs. Whether you’re mapping a Great Ocean Road trip or chasing that first snow dump in the High Country, Traveloka helps you find the stay that fits your plan.

Where to stay in Victoria

• Melbourne CBD: Laneway coffee, late-night dumplings, international galleries - this is Australia’s capital of culture for a reason. If you want to catch the latest gigs or spend a weekend travelling from vintage shop to footy game, this is it.
• Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges: Wineries, waratahs and weekend slowdowns. This is wine country with a cool-climate twist. Perfect for weekenders who simply want to book a cottage and spend their time breathing in the fresh forest air.
• Mornington Peninsula: Where vineyard meets surf coast. Mornings here start with a sea dip, ease into hours at the hot springs, and finish with pinot and plates of fresh shellfish. Great for couples or girls’ weekends.
• Great Ocean Road: Welcome to one of Australia’s most famous road trips - or even the most famous. Make your way slowly along the surf coast with more than frequent stops to see the Twelve Apostles, hike in rainforests, catch waves in Lorne or Apollo Bay or do simple beach swims.
• Grampians and High Country: Think starry skies, gumtree hikes and crackling fires. Stay near Halls Gap or Bright for mountain trails, wildlife moments, and crisp-air getaways in everything from ski chalets to cabins.

How much is Victoria accommodation?

Prices swing with the seasons in Victoria, where snow trips, summer coast stays and major Melbourne weekends can bump things up fast. But from cabins in the High Country to CBD studios with a tram out front, there’s something for every style and spend. On average, you’re looking at $170 to $250 a night. But there are stays from under $120 if you know where (and when) to look on Traveloka.

• Hostels: From $40 per night. Expect shared dorms combined with private rooms. Usually, there is a communal kitchen - great for saving dollars to spend more on dumplings - social vibes like rooftops, near those handy public trams.
• Budget hotels: From $110 per night. Clean, comfy, and super close to town. AIrm for a private ensuite, maybe a microwave, and definitely no fuss.
• Mid-range hotels and apartments: From $150 per night. Solid value with extras like bacon brekkie, balconies overlooking the surf or late checkout.
• Luxury and boutique hotels: From $250 per night. When it comes to how luxury Victoria’s hotels can go, the limit does not exist. Whether you’re booking a stay that comes with an outdoor tub overlooking the vines, or a zillionth-floor city suite, there are plenty of options in Victoria - if you book early.

Tips for finding the perfect accommodation in Victoria

• Pick your region like a local. Want wine and wallabies? Go Yarra. After salt spray and surf towns? Great Ocean Road’s your pick. Let your plans shape where you end up.
• Time your trip like a pro. Australian Open in Melbourne, ski dumps in the High Country, summer on the Surf Coast. Victoria’s peaks pack out fast. Can you manage mid-week or shoulder season? That’s when the rates drop.
• Use filters to match your style. After pet-friendly, breakfast included, or a hot tub with a view? Traveloka’s filters help you zero in on what matters most to you.
• Book early for high-demand spots. Places like the Grampians in the snow season or Mornington over summer fill fast. Lock it in early if your dates are fixed.
