South of bustling
Sydney awaits the peaceful and pretty town of Bundanoon, on the edge of the beautiful Morton National Park. With great walking trails, waterfalls and glow worms to discover, as well as the lovely local galleries, shops and cafes, both nature and old-world charm meet here. A part of the rolling green hills of the Southern Highlands too, Bundanoon is close to wineries and other heritage towns. Come check it all out with one of our Bundanoon hotels below!
Country charms
With mountain air to complement the sleepy streets, you won’t have a problem relaxing in Bundanoon. Just strolling down the streets and popping into the craft shops, nurseries, great art galleries and the little museum will recharge your batteries with warm country vibes. There are also some cute cafes and tea rooms, good restaurants and pubs set in lovely old architecture. And on the first Sunday of the month the main street comes alive with busy markets.
National park pleasures
The northern gateway to Morton National Park, Bundanoon is a fab spot to base yourself and explore the green escapes on its doorstep. As one of the largest national parks in NSW, there are tonnes of well-marked bushwalking trails winding through it, past native flowers, rainforest gullies, brilliant lookouts and picnic spots. If you like the sound of waterfalls, don’t miss Fitzroy Falls or Fairy Bower Falls. You might also love the local glow worms! Pick up some local info for tips on how to find them.
Southern Highlands
The rolling green hills of the
Southern Highlands are more than just pretty to look at. They help to create some delicious cool climate wines! So don’t miss a lovely road trip around the region for some fine drops and bites, with a stop at Berrima,
Mittagong, Moss Vale or
Kangaroo Valley. You’ll also find lovely retreats and some great golf around the area, and more bushwalking tracks and spectacular natural scenery.
Bowral is also home to the International Cricket Hall of Fame.
Getting there
Bundanoon is exactly half way between
Sydney and
Canberra and under two hours’ drive from both, making it super easy for a night or a sneaky weekend away. It’s also just over an hour inland from
Wollongong. If you’re not a local, we have
flights to Sydney and
flights to Canberra to get you (nearly) there!
Bundanoon is a great escape from city life. The pace of life is slow, the country hospitality warm, and the beauty of the natural surroundings is impossible to resist. Whether you’re looking to chill out or gear up for some fab bush adventures, our range of accommodation in Bundanoon will keep you comfy at night.
