Accommodation in New South Wales

New South Wales is the most populated state in Australia, and one quick audit of the activities here reveals why so many Aussies call it home. You can just as easily hang 10 ten at the likes of Bondi Beach in Sydney as you can go screaming down the slopes in the Blue Mountains. As if the smorgasbord of outdoor activities wasn’t enough reason to visit the region, southeast Australia is also teeming with art and culture. Plus, NSW resorts always make sure you’re comfortable in your temporary home away from home.

When to Visit

NSW is at its best between December and February, when average temperatures along the coast hover at about 26 degrees C. If you want to avoid precipitation, the driest months of the year are June to December. The outback region tends to remain arid and dry most of the year, so inland adventurers can head to NSW any time. Cheap flights to New South Wales are easiest to find from May to August, when you’re also able to score good rates on hotels.

What to See and Do

When you fly into Sydney, a bevy of art, culture, and outdoor adventures immediately await. Take in a show at the famed Sydney Opera House, explore the fine dining at Darling Harbour, and dig your heels into the sand at Manly Beach. If you seek space for reflection or solitude, head to stunning Mungo National Park. Of course, wine country is always a nice place to unwind—set aside some time for a day-trip to Hunter Valley during your holiday.
