The sooner you book, the better. You're more likely to score a cheaper rate on a Bathurst hotel and have more choice when you plan ahead.
Still, be ready to pounce on any last-minute deals. Some places reduce their rates just before check-in to avoid having empty rooms. This is more likely to happen on less busy days or in low season, however.
Another trick to scoring cheaper hotels? Flexibility. If your plans aren't locked in, try a few different travel dates and discover just how much you can save.
Search for accommodation options with free cancellation and book without the pressure. You can adjust or cancel your stay without penalty if your schedule changes or a better offer shows up.
