There are many fantastic places for you to choose from in Australia – from Sydney to Perth – and the location you pick all depends on what you are looking for from your holiday. But no matter what location you go for you should certainly opt for a self-catering cottage. These offer a lot more to your holiday than staying in a different form of accommodation, and if you read on you will find out how.
One of the best things about staying in a self-catering cottage is freedom. There are many ways that a self-catering cottage gives you this. One reason is that you get the accommodation to yourself and you don’t have to worry about anybody nearby as you would if you were staying in a hotel room. You can also have greater flexibility and stay in numerous places, which is ideal for the likes of the popular Perth 10 day travel itinerary. In addition to this, you also get freedom because you will not be constrained to the hotel timing. You will be able to eat whenever you like and you will be able to visit different locations whenever you like. A self-catering cottage gives you the potential to completely cater your holiday to suit your wants and needs.
Aside from giving you a wider scope of possibilities, self-catering cottages in Australia also offer a lot more in terms of location and scenery. You will find that the cottages available tend to be in the most scenic locations. Hotels don’t usually boast this, because once one hotel is built there seems to be ten more popping up in the area. If you are looking for somewhere truly tranquil and serene then you will have a much better chance of finding this if you opt to go down the cottage route.
You will also be able to get the most out of the location you choose. This links to the earlier part regarding no time constraints as would be experienced if staying in a hotel. Because of the fact you are going down the self-catering route you can actually try local restaurants, taste the local produce, and you will have more of your time to spare and concentrate on exploring the area.
One final and important point worth considering is the fact that you will be able to budget your holiday more effectively if you choose self-catering cottages. First and foremost, your accommodation will be a lot cheaper. Everyone knows that self-catering accommodation is more cost-effective but you will also find that cottages are cheaper as well – a double result. Going for self-catering does not mean that you will have to go to restaurants every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Instead you can buy some local food and cook meals some evenings and explore the area at other times.
If you are planning your yearly vacation then make sure you give some thought to staying in a self catering cottage. You will get a lot more out of your holiday if you decide to go down this path.
Oh yes, one day I’ll make it to Australia and the thought of staying in my own cottage there would be amazing. Self catering gives you so much freedome. Mich x
