ali Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Thinking of heading over to NSW for my birthday in January and will hire a car and spend about a week. Done Sydney before so won't be heading there. We're going to spend 2 or 3 nights in the Hunter Valley - hubby would like another couple of stops. Any suggestions on places to visit and overnight stop offs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Heading in the other direction, the Southern Highlands is a very nice place to visit. https://www.southern-highlands.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Sydney to Grafton on the Pacific Hwy, turn inland to Glen Innes on the Gwydir Hwy. From Glenn, south on the New England Hwy to Tamworth and down to Newcastle. Cheers, Bobj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I rather like Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest - stayed in hotel motel there with my brother a couple of years back. https://www.teagardenshotel.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramot Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Stayed in a really nice cottage in Bowral a few weeks ago, about 1hr 30 from Sydney. can let you know if interested. We really like Bowral and Burrawang and the Southern Highlands. Normally very green with loads of large established trees. Great country pub in Burrawang about 20 mins from Bowral. Makes a nice change from the Sunshine Coast for us. Also recommend the Duke of Clarence pub in central Sydney, off Clarence St, almost everything was sourced from the UK and has good pub grub. Feels similar to an English pub. Enjoy your trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the whole Southern Highlands area. https://www.southern-highlands.com.au/visitors/visitors-towns-and-villages Also if in Sydney, the Duke of Clarence is worth a visit as you say Ramot.
