Australia is a vast, varied country and a weekend break is the perfect way to explore a new destination in a handy, bite-sized chunk. Whether you are on the lookout for a cheap family holiday, a wild weekend getaway with mates or a romantic escape with your partner, take the opportunity to see somewhere different and experience some of the exciting sights and wonders of our fabulous country.
New South Wales
New South Wales has plenty to offer visitors looking for a few days of R&R and whilst Sydney has sufficient attractions to keep sightseers coming back again and again, it is far from being the only destination for a weekend getaway.
Victoria
Beautiful countryside, thrilling coastlines and sandy beaches, wonderful food and produce and some of outstanding wineries – Victoria has a lot to recommend it for a weekend away.
South Australia
The Festival State has loads going for it, whether you’re seeking a cultural weekend break, built around one of South Australia’s busy calendar of events, or romantic getaways to spectacular locations such as Kangaroo Island or the Barossa Valley.
Gold Coast
One of the best destinations for a weekend getaway has to be Queensland’s Gold Coast – especially if you’re looking for a family holiday. Starting 80 kilometres south of Brisbane, the glorious sandy beaches of this prime tourist hotspot run south all the way in Coolangatta and there are plenty of places to stay and enjoy the all year round sunshine.
