Hotels in Queensland, Australia

Queensland is Australia's northeastern state, famous for the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. The climate is subtropical in the south and tropical in the north, with dry winters (comfortable mid-60s°F or 18°C) perfect for diving at the reef or surfing on the Gold Coast, and wet summers (often 90°F or 32°C) ideal for exploring the ancient rainforest waterfalls near Cairns. In the cooler months from June to August, you can snorkel in crystal-clear waters off the Whitsundays, while the hot, humid season from December to February offers fewer tourists and lush green landscapes.
