16 days · Coastal route towards Sydney

Sixteen days along the family coast

Shorter stays and longer pauses along Gippsland and the NSW coast, giving families time to settle rather than pack up every morning.

Your route

Melbourne → Lakes Entrance → Eden → Merimbula → Narooma → Batemans Bay → Jervis Bay → Sydney

Suggested pacing, not a fixed tour. Check current roads, weather, permits and campsite access, book sites that fit your vehicle and follow your agreed hire conditions.

Day 1–3

Gippsland Lakes

Collect the van and stage your drive to a lakeside or coastal base. Leave a day for an easy walk and time at the campsite.

Before you go: Check child-restraint arrangements before booking the vehicle.

Day 4–6

Eden and Merimbula

Cross into NSW for a few nights around the Sapphire Coast. Choose a suitable beach, a nature visit and an afternoon where the children choose the pace.

Before you go: Check beach safety, weather and current access.

Day 7–9

Narooma and Eurobodalla

Travel north in short stages and stay near the places your family wants to explore. Choose safe cycling or walking options and simple meals back at the van.

Before you go: Book popular coastal parks early.

Day 10–12

Batemans Bay towards Jervis Bay

Use a comfortable base for shoreline walks and a quieter day. Confirm park rules before visiting with pets or planning national-park outings.

Before you go: Check campsite and park permits separately.

Day 13–14

The final coastal stages

Leave time for a final beach morning before heading towards the greater Sydney area. Choose a campsite with easier motorhome access than dense city streets.

Before you go: Check tolls, clearances and parking restrictions.

Day 15–16

Sydney base days

Explore using local transport where it is simpler than moving the van. Finish the outward route with your separate Melbourne return already planned.

Before you go: Do not book onward flights assuming an unconfirmed one-way return.
