Newcastle is only a short 2h drive north from Sydney, or 2.5h from Sydney’s airport, and the M1 freeway makes the trip easy.
Flying to Newcastle from Brisbane and Melbourne is even easier with daily flights to Newcastle Airport, as well as direct flights from selected regional and interstate hubs.
From Newcastle airport, catch a taxi, bus or hire a car for the 20m drive to Newcastle City.
Throughout April, Newcastle Food Month provides a delicious menu of reasons for an extended stay, whether it is for a Feature Event, an array of Plate Date offers, or perhaps starting it all with the world famous Le Diner en Blanc.
