What Wotif is known for

Wotif started as a hotel specialist for Australian travellers and still shows broad local inventory: city hotels, regional motels, holiday parks and airport properties across Australia and New Zealand. If you prioritise finding multiple property types in one search (motels, self‑contained apartments, resorts), Wotif’s filters and map view make it easy to compare nearby options and nightly rates.

How to get the best price

Wotif’s best bargains usually appear in the 'Deals' area and via packaged flight+hotel searches — always check both standalone and bundle prices. Be flexible on dates and room types, sign up to Wotif emails for promo offers, and compare refundable vs non‑refundable rates: the cheaper room may not be worth it if your plans change. Also run a quick price check across competitors before finalising.

Cancellations, support and trust signals

There’s no one-size-fits-all return policy: cancellation and refund rules depend on the hotel or supplier and are clearly displayed during checkout. You’ll get an immediate booking confirmation by email; changes are usually handled in your bookings page or via customer support. Check the property’s cancellation window and any non‑refundable tags before you pay, and keep screenshots of confirmation for disputes.

FAQ

Does Wotif offer price matching?

Wotif does not broadly advertise a global price-match guarantee. Use the Deals page and compare competitor prices before booking; if you have a specific issue after booking, contact customer support with evidence.

When are Wotif’s best sales?

Best discounts tend to appear on the Deals page, around school holidays and last-minute windows. Bundling flight+hotel often produces extra savings, so always compare package quotes with separate bookings.

How do I cancel or change a booking?

Cancellation rules vary by supplier and are shown on the booking page and confirmation. Manage changes in your Wotif account or contact customer support; refundable options will state the refund window before payment.
