New South Wales Holidays

New South Wales is Australia’s oldest state, rich in history and diverse landscapes that stretch from rugged coastlines to ancient mountain ranges. Home to vibrant cities, fertile river valleys, and expansive national parks, it played a key role in Australia’s colonial beginnings and continues to be a cultural and economic hub.

New South Wales offers travellers a chance to explore both Australia’s past and present across a stunning variety of settings. Below are some of our favourite destinations within NSW:

Sydney

Sydney is one of the world’s most recognisable cities, famed for its Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and sparkling waterfront. Stroll along Circular Quay, take a ferry to Manly, or relax on famous beaches like Bondi and Balmoral. Beyond the landmarks, you’ll find vibrant neighbourhoods, bustling markets, and exceptional dining, from casual coastal cafés to top-tier restaurants.

The Blue Mountains National Park

Just a short drive from Sydney, the Blue Mountains National Park offers dramatic sandstone cliffs, eucalyptus forests, and the iconic Three Sisters rock formation. Walking trails, waterfalls, and secluded lagoons make this a great escape for nature lovers, whether that is a day trip from Sydney or a multi-day exploration.

Byron Bay

Known for its bohemian spirit, Byron Bay has beautiful beaches and a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Surf, swim, or simply soak up the sunshine before enjoying its lively cafés, markets, and coastal walks. From May to November, Byron Bay is also one of the best launch points for watching the migration of humpback whales along Australia’s East Coast.
