BEST WEEKEND GETAWAYS TRIPS FROM SYDNEY

Sydney has some fantastic nearby destinations both along the coast and when you head inland, and below are some of the best day trips from Sydney. 

We’re also sharing a few destinations a bit further away that would be more suited for a Sydney weekend getaway. 

The Hunter Valley

The wine and food trail known as the Hunter Valley is one of our favourite regions in Australia. With over 140 wineries this is the place you want to go to sample some of Australia’s best wines. 

If you haven’t been to Kangaroo Valley yet, you should. The valley is as green as Ireland with Australian bush escarpments and wildlife (they have lots of wombats).

Jervis Bay

The Jervis Bay region, three hours south of Sydney, is magical. I wouldn’t classify it as one of the day trips from Sydney, more of a weekend getaway, but it’s been the highlight of my travels down the south coast of NSW. 

Newcastle

With great beaches, inner city pubs with live music, and a thriving restaurant scene such as Derby street and along the waterfront, Newcastle is a happening place. 

Bathurst

Bathurst, three hours west of Sydney, is probably most well known for motor racing and it’s big University, but there’s much more to it than that and can be a perfect country getaway from the hustle and bustle of Sydney for a family, or even just for couples.
