| 0% to +14% | 32 | 42% |

| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
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.

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.

| Tuesday 26 January 2027 | Australia Day | $186 | -5% | 50 of 76 |
