5N Australia Self-Drive Tour | Sydney, Hunter Valley & Coast
6
Days
5
Nights
Five nights self-driving from Sydney through the Hunter Valley wineries to the Port Stephens dunes and dolphins, with return flights.
Hunter Valley vineyards and the Port Stephens sand dunes give this five-night self-drive its romantic shape, running from Sydney up the New South Wales coast and back. Airport transfers are included, with a 5-star and 4-star hotel tier.
What you see on the self-drive route
Sydney opens on the harbour, the Hunter Valley brings cellar-door tastings, and Port Stephens delivers dolphin cruises and the Stockton sand dunes. Self-driving lets a couple set their own pace along the coast.
