Best RV accommodation in Sydney

Posted on

Picture this: you’ve booked flights, locked in your camper hire and you’re eager to discover the land down under. Stunning Sydney is Australia’s most famous city. Boasting iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. It’s also the perfect place to start your self-drive holiday.

It’s an exciting time. We know you’re itching to hit the road, but there’s nothing worse than driving tired, especially after a full day’s travel.  We strongly suggest booking your first night’s accommodation prior to arriving in Sydney. You’ll thank us later! It’s important to be organised on the road, as freedom camping is often prohibited.

Not only do caravan parks provide power to connect your appliances, the facilities and amenities are just as great. Depending on your travel plans, we’ve found three places to stay on your first night picking up from Sydney.

Motorhome rental – where to stay in Brisbane

Posted on

So, you’ve picked up your rental motorhome from Brisbane, and you’re excited to explore Australia. Beautiful Brisbane (also known as the river city) is the perfect gateway to sunny Queensland. Queensland is home to many tropical rain forests, picture-perfect beaches and so much more.

We strongly recommend booking your first night’s accommodation before you arrive in Brisbane. We know you’re keen to get on the road, but driving when tired can be very dangerous, particularly after a long-haul flight.

Camping on the side of the road in Brisbane is strictly prohibited; you must stay in a caravan park or designated campground. Luckily, staying at a caravan park offers many other advantages. If you book a powered site, you’ll be able to connect your camper van to electricity. You’ll also have access to amenities like camp kitchens and swimming pools. 

We’ve found three places to stay on your first night after picking up your rental vehicle from Brisbane, depending on your travel plans.

Virtual lap of Australia

Posted on

While you can’t travel everywhere right now, we want to indulge your travel bug. Welcome to our virtual lap of Australia. We will show you some of our favourite places along the way, feeding your visual senses and creating some serious travel inspo.

Starting in Brisbane – Queensland we’ll work our way down through New South Wales, around Victoria, and all the way to the southernmost tip of Tasmania. We’ll head back up along the South West through South Australia and around west to Western Australia. We’ll then travel up north to the Northern Territory. Finally, we’ll go all the way back to Queensland; we’ll explore the tip-top of Australia and Cape York before heading back, ending our virtual lap of Australia on the Sunshine Coast.

Lapping Australia is definitely a goal to add to the bucket list. While you’re waiting to get started, add our virtual lap of Australia to your reading list. We hope you feel inspired to plan your next road trip when it is safe to do so. When the time is right, we encourage you to support local your communities and tourism industry.
