Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Detention?
The best area to stay in Detention is the coastal stretch along the Bass Highway, offering direct access to the beach and local amenities.

This area is the primary hub for visitors, characterized by its proximity to the Bass Strait coastline. Accommodations here often provide ocean views and easy access to the sandy shores, superb for morning walks or watching the sunset. The main road, Bass Highway, connects you quickly to nearby towns and attractions.

For couples seeking a quiet retreat with scenic views, this coastal area is ideal. You can enjoy strolls along the uncrowded beach, explore nearby natural features like the Detention River mouth, and find comfortable lodging that provides a relaxing escape.

Families will also find this area convenient due to its easy beach access and proximity to local parks and picnic spots.
When is the best time to go to Detention?
The best time to visit Detention is during the warmer months, from December to February, when the weather is most pleasant for exploring the region.

During these months, you'll find average temperatures ranging from 17°C to 23°C (63°F to 73°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities like walking along the coastline or visiting local attractions. The days are longer, offering more sunlight for sightseeing and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. This period is particularly good for couples looking for a relaxed getaway with comfortable weather.

Alternatively, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer agreeable conditions. Temperatures are milder, and there are fewer crowds, which can be appealing for solo travelers seeking a more tranquil experience.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Detention.
