There are many idyllic locations that are within hours of Sydney's city centre.

Keep reading for two holiday destinations that my family love, within hours of Sydney. Where are your favourite holiday spots? Please leave a comment at the top of this article if you would like to share your favourite destinations - if you are happy for other people to discover it as well! Why not hop in the car, feel the wind in your hair and start exploring this weekend...



Port Macquarie

Port Macquarie is located NSW/Port Macquarie NSW/@-32.6522311,150.8523609,8z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b129838f39a743f:0x3017d681632a850!2m2!1d151.2092955!2d-33.8688197!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b9dff5c34ecc9c1:0x50609b490442e40!2m2!1d152.8974657!2d-31.4580174!3e0 4.5 hours north of Sydney or you can fly from Sydney to Port Macquarie and get there quicker! Port Macquarie is a popular destination for all ages, as it has something for everyone. There are stunning beaches, a wide range of accommodation options , family activities , shows , wineries , country pubs , foodie experiences , great fishing and miles of coastline to explore. Port Macquarie seems to be growing every time I go back to visit it - there are more cafes, more things to do, more shops and more attractions, popping up each year. If you want to relax, then start your day at Town Beach and then go from there...



Nelson Bay

Nelson Bay is located closer to Sydney, just over New South Wales/Nelson Bay, New South Wales 2315/data=!4m8!4m7!1m2!1m1!1s0x6b129838f39a743f:0x3017d681632a850!1m2!1m1!1s0x6b7383c232b5436d:0x5017d681632f200!3e0?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5ssX-iPn3AhWlmOYKHcllB7wQ-A96BAgCEA0 2.5 hours north of Sydney. This is a much smaller holiday destination than Port Macquarie, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty! The water is particularly blue in the waters of Port Stephens due to the fine, white sand on the bays and beaches around Nelson Bay. The town of Nelson Bay has restaurants, water activities, cafes and shops and then you hop in the car and start exploring surrounding towns and beaches at Shoal Bay , Fingal Bay , Anna Bay , Salamander Bay , Soldiers Point and Corlette. This venue can get very busy in summer, but if you visit in winter you may have an entire beach to yourself. My family loved this area so much, that we moved here!
