New South Wales has a lot to offer for those looking to get away from the hubbub of Sydney. Popular destinations for a relaxing getaway include the Blue Mountains, Byron Bay, the Hunter Valley wine region, and Port Stephens. Whether you’re looking for a mountain hideaway where you’ll be surrounded by secluded and rugged landscapes or a seaside retreat where the waves can lull you to sleep, there’s a luxury escape waiting for you in New South Wales. We’ve curated some of the best accommodations where you can indulge during your holiday in Australia.

Crystalbrook Byron

Only a quick drive from the town centre of Byron Bay, Crystalbrook Byron is a luxurious retreat situated in 45 acres of magical subtropical rainforest. Just a short walk from Tallow Beach, this luxury resort boasts a perfect blend of intuitive service and breathtaking natural surroundings. It is located only 2 hours from Brisbane, Queensland too, making it an easily accessible destination. The resort features luxurious contemporary rooms and suites, a pool, spa, fitness centre, a bar and a restaurant that offers a farm-to-table dining experience using locally sourced ingredients. Its location also provides easy access to a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, surfing, and horse riding. For those looking for a getaway close to both the rainforest and the sea, this is definitely a wonderful choice where you can indulge both in terms of relaxation and exploration.

Chalets at Blackheath

Being on a secluded mountainside getaway paints the picture of romance and relaxation and Chalets at Blackheath captures the magic of the Blue Mountains. Located atop one of the highest points of the Blue Mountains, Chalets at Blackheath offers breathtaking views of the surrounding eucalyptus forests, rugged sandstone formations, and ancient aboriginal sites. Each chalet is designed with a unique and modern almost cubist look, blending natural stone interiors with warm wooden floors and metal accents which create a perfect balance of rustic and contemporary design. Its location provides easy access to the many outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, and rock climbing, but if you prefer to stay in the privacy of your luxury chalet or simply enjoy the view from your private deck, this getaway has a beautiful spot waiting for you.

All villas have furnished private decks and fully self-contained kitchens with everything you need for self-catering options. 99 Acres Bangalow Retreat is just an 8-minute walk from the charming and historic Bangalow village, and after a day of leisurely enjoying the town, you can take a relaxing dip in the outdoor pool while taking in 360-degree views of the surrounding villages. It’s the perfect spot for taking it slow and getting away from the hectic pace of the city.
