Can I cancel a hotel booking for the Melbourne Cup carnival 2027 for free?

Many can. 16 of the 37 hotels listed currently have a free-cancellation rate for these dates; each row shows which. Free-cancellation rates usually cost slightly more than non-refundable ones.

How are these prices worked out?

Each price is the cheapest bookable room for the whole 4-night stay for 2 adults, in Australian dollars, with GST counted, including any part the hotel collects at check-in. They are checked live through Fostay's hotel supplier and refreshed every six hours; this page was last checked 15 Nov 2026, 19:00 Melbourne time.

Do these prices include GST?

Yes. Every price counts GST. Some hotels collect part of it at check-in rather than when you book (0 of the 37 listed here), and we add that part to the figure shown, so the total is what you pay in all. Amounts are in Australian dollars; the currency can be switched on the site, and the price shown is the one charged.

Are the holiday dates confirmed?

Not yet. These dates are based on the usual calendar or an early announcement and have not been confirmed, so they may move by a day or two. Book a free-cancellation rate if your plans depend on the exact dates.
