Leading hotel group Choice Hotels Asia-Pac is offering an array of affordable accommodation options to warm any family’s mid-year break these winter school holidays.

Whether embracing the cold in the mountains, or escaping it on a beach, children aged 12 and younger will stay free when they share the same room as their parents or grandparents at any of Choice’s 170 family-friendly properties across Australia and New Zealand.

Furthermore, members of Choice’s free and award-winning rewards program, Choice Privileges™, can enjoy 15 per cent off stays of two nights or more when they book between now and 31 July 2024 for stays until 31 August 2024.

Despite ongoing cost-of-living challenges, recent data* has revealed that 91 per cent of Australians are still planning to travel this year. Of those planning a holiday, 83 per cent are looking to save money by:

  • Choosing domestic destinations over those abroad;
  • Seeking budget-friendly lodging;
  • Taking fewer trips;
  • Taking shorter trips; and
  • Choosing less expensive destinations.

Choice Hotels Asia-Pac Senior Director Commercial and Revenue Management Kari Hunter says Choice Hotels is delighted to be able to make it even more inviting for families to enjoy a getaway these school holidays.

“We know many Australian families are looking at ways to save money this year — and the cost of their holiday accommodation is certainly no exception,” Kari says.

“Joining Choice Privileges is free, and the 15 per cent guests save when they book their winter stay before the end of July will leave them with more in their budget to enjoy their break — whether that’s an iconic getaway, a road trip, or experiencing the best zoos and sanctuaries Australia has to offer.”

How Kids Stay Free Works:

Children aged 12 and younger stay free when they share the same room as their parents or grandparents and meet the following requirements:

  • Hotel room must be at an eligible rate;
  • Room must not include any additional bedding; and
  • Check for a “Hotel Alert” on the hotel information page to verify any restrictions.
