Sydney to Melbourne Coastal Drive

Your Australian adventure begins in Sydney where you’ll be greeted at the airport and transferred to your city centre hotel. From here, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of this iconic city and its breathtaking harbour, not to mention the Opera House and Rocks District are just a stone’s throw away. Sydney’s sights don’t end in the city – head to the famous coastal beaches such as Bondi, Bronte, Coogee and Manly, discover the unique character of Surrey Hills or take a cruise along the harbour and admire the sights from a different perspective.

Today pick up your campervan and begin your drive down the coast. Your Britz Venturer campervan combines comfort with flexibility, providing plenty of space and ample storage, as well as a shower and toilet, a gas-stove, a sink, microwave, a huge fridge/freezer and an external barbecue, ideal for an alfresco evening under the stars. How you choose to structure your Journey is up to you – that’s the beauty of self-drive holidays. You may choose to hug the coastline and make the most of the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Swim with dolphins from the beautiful Jervis Bay, spot whales in Eden, hike through the diverse Croajingolong National Park and watch the daily dusk parade of little penguins on Phillip Island. Alternatively head inland for gold mines, historic towns and villages, alpine ranges and vineyards. From spectacular scenery and intriguing history to gourmet cuisine and local wine, our Australia experts are here to help you choose the perfect route.

It’s time to return the keys to your campervan and complete your holiday with three nights in Melbourne. You’ll be staying in one of Melbourne’s finest historic hotels right in the heart of the city in Flinders Street, so your first stop will no doubt be Federation Square, just a few metres away. Lined with galleries, cafés and live performances, it's the perfect spot to grab a flat white and watch the city go by as you decide which cultural attraction to visit first. Take a stroll through Melbourne’s Laneways – a creative hub of boutiques, eateries and hidden bars – relax in cosmopolitan St Kilda, or take a hot-air balloon ride over the city at sunrise.
