NSW Country Escapes

NSW Country - Berrima

NSW’s country regions offer heritage villages, rolling farmland, mountain towns, cellar doors, and wide-open landscapes. From food-focused hubs and historic main streets to national parks, lookouts, and quiet rural retreats, country NSW delivers a very different kind of escape.

Whether you’re planning a long weekend in one town or a bigger road trip across multiple regions, country NSW is ideal for travelling at a slower pace.

Next Escape is your guide to real places and real experiences across NSW. We share honest, practical travel advice based on real visits – the beaches we’ve swum at, the restaurants we’ve eaten at and the walks we’ve actually done. More about us.

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.
