About New South Wales
Sydney, with its pale, colonial stone buildings set around that spectacular harbour is New South Wales's main event, but it's only a short journey from there to the vineyards of the Hunter Valley, the magical Blue Mountains, or to coastlines perfect with yellow beaches and dramatic cliffs. Or you can lose yourself in the rural interior, both the cattle country this land lives on or the silent bush, inhabited by the unique fauna for which Australia is known. The best places to stay in New South Wales include everything from chic-tastic city break pads to remote spots where it's just you and a view of the ocean.

What not to Miss
- There's so many reasons to visit New South Wales that it's hard to list the highlights. Surfers love Byron Bay, there's skiing in the Snowy Mountains and the land in between has a wealth of different national parks and a smattering of old country towns.
- Of course there's Sydney, historic, yet bursting with life, and arguably one of the world's most beautiful cities.
- People wax lyrical about Sydney's colours: the shimmering green-blue of the harbour with its white sails, the bright blue of the sky, the yellow of the beaches and the golden shades of sunshine which turn skin the same colours. Sydney is more than just a glorious picture, it bursts with energy and flavours just as intense as the colours. Most visitors can't resist the harbour's call for much longer than it takes to unpack their luggage, and there are a number of ways to enjoy it.
- Don't miss a jaunt across to Manly, less than an hour on the ferry. It was once the 'summer retreat' of Sydney's fashionable set, or a ferry ride to Taronga Zoo, one of the world's most spectacularly located zoos.
- The Inner Harbour's treasures - the bridge, the Opera House, the botanical gardens and the Rocks - are an exceptional spot to stroll around.
- There is the bustle and excitement of the fish markets - and of course the promise of a fantastically fresh seafood lunch - unmissable.
- While the fame of Bondi makes it irresistible to many, this whole stretch of coast, from Bondi to Coogee Beach, is worth a wander, if you have the time. Bondi's Sunday markets add an extra appeal.
- New South Wales is in places bone dry, with great expanses of desert, and strange unforgiving, almost lunar-like landscapes. In other places it's moist with rainforests and barrelled through by great rivers. Both the Bega and the Hunter Valleys are lush and wide. Stretching between the hills of north Sydney and Newcastle, the Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s best known wine regions and a centre of fantastic food too. While the Bega Valley is the same - but for cheese.
- The spectacular Blue Mountains, to the north of Sydney, are a collection of eight connected national parks, centred around Katoomba and the Jamison Valley. There’s a hazy, blue magic to many views of the Blue Mountains, it’s not just your imagination. There really is something in the air: a fine mist mixed with eucalyptus oil. This is where to come for mountain views and bush walking.
- Byron Bay is another highlight for many, one of Australia’s best known beach towns. It has the spectacular beaches that this whole strip of coastline is famous for and a wonderfully relaxed vibe which flows down from the hippy communities in the hills surrounding the town - Nimbin being the most famous. Cape Bryon Lighthouse marks Australia’s most easterly point and if you can get down here for daybreak you’re in for a beautiful sight. That’s the best way to do things in Byron, take strolls, enjoy your food at a leisurely pace, relax into the evenings, amble along the beach and don’t come in until it’s really time for bed.
- This is definitely a place to travel across - you really need to see more than just the city. And that's what people do. Families camp, or take driving holidays, backpackers do the coast run and retired folk tow their caravans to wherever they fancy.
The best places to stay in New South Wales (especially those in Sydney) will get very busy during the peak holiday periods. So if you're coming then, plan well ahead.

Travel Information
- Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport is the main international hub serving Sydney and New South Wales. But some of the other cities and large towns have airports too. Coffs Harbour Airport, Broken Hill Airport and Port Macquarie Airport might all be useful to you if you’re travelling around without a car.
- If you want to hire a car - which we highly recommend if you’re staying in New South Wales and want to see the region properly - we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.
- New South Wales is in a temperate climate zone, so the weather is fairly mild and sunny all year round. During summer the temperatures average 26ºC, and in winter they’re around 12ºC. It does get cold in the Snowy Mountains during winter, and it can be very hot on the coast in summer. What we’re saying is that the best time of year to visit is highly dependent on where you’re planning to visit and what you’re planning to do there. But there’s really no time to avoid.
