Next Escape delivers travel content grounded in real visits and first-hand knowledge. We visit the towns, try the restaurants and gather the specific details that make travel planning easier, giving you the kind of advice you’d get from a friend who’s just returned from a trip.
Based in Sydney, we cover NSW’s coastal towns, country escapes and regional destinations with an emphasis on practical, accessible travel. We only write about towns and venues we’ve visited, genuinely liked and would return to. You won’t find the towns that didn’t make the cut, restaurants that missed the mark and beaches that look better in photos.
We use AI to check our grammar and (occasionally atrocious) spelling, not to shortlist where we visit. We select towns and venues based on research, feedback from locals and recommendations from other travellers.
Missed a spot?
If there’s a destination, hotel, restaurant or sight we’ve missed (or you think we should revisit), just let us know.
