Some of our New South Wales Collections:
Sydney is the natural starting point for most visitors to New South Wales. A historic metropolis centred around its iconic harbour, the city brims with world-class museums, galleries and cultural events. Take guided architecture and food tours, pick up designer pieces from chic boutiques, and tuck into flavoursome fare at the city’s many acclaimed restaurants. Bondi Beach is the stuff of legend, and not to be missed.
Keen surfers and creatives can venture along the coast to Byron Bay, where you’ll find still more cracking cuisine, outdoorsy adventures and a real community feel. Mollymook, far to the south, is another seaside favourite. Head inland to the wine country towns of Orange, Mudgee and Pokolbin, surrounded by farms and vineyards. Bowral, the gateway to the Southern Highlands, is a top choice for vintage finds, gorgeous landscaped gardens, and the International Cricket Hall of Fame. Take your time in discovering this dazzling region’s many wonders — and remember to book your pick of the best places to stay in New South Wales well in advance.
