Travel Guides

The Southern Highlands has a rolling green countryside reminiscent of southern England, gourmet delights worthy of Italy yet miraculously maintains and displays a unique and proud Australian heritage. Luxurious accommodation options abound, and at just 1.5 hours drive south of Sydney there is little wonder it has become a playground for the rich and famous. For those of more modest means, it is a charming place to escape, relax and unwind for a short break or even just a day trip. Many establishments are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays so plan around this.
