Nearby nights of its kind: the other measured nights of the same kind (Monday to Thursday, or Friday to Sunday) within 7 days either side; a dash where fewer than 3 were measured. Each night links to the places and prices read for it.

How far above an ordinary night

In Canberra, 8 of the 84 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +66%, on Saturday 9 January 2027.

Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.

The most expensive weekends (Friday + Saturday)

In Canberra, the most expensive weekend measured is Friday 8 January 2027 and Saturday 9 January 2027: medians of $373 and $375, $747 summed.

A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.

Stretches of high prices

In Canberra, the longest run of consecutive nights each 15% or more above nearby nights of its kind goes from 6 January 2027 to 10 January 2027 (5 nights), peaking at $375 on Saturday 9 January 2027.

A run needs at least two consecutive measured nights; a night not measured or not compared ends it.

Events and holidays on measured nights

In Canberra, published events and holidays on measured nights: 4; the one furthest above nearby nights of its kind was the night of Friday 1 January 2027 (New Year's Day): -2%, a median of $216.

An event or holiday is listed only where its night was measured and compared; an event found automatically also needs a source and a difference of at least +15%. The difference belongs to the night: it says what that night asked, not why.
