With the days getting shorter and temperature dropping, it's time to take advantage of the remainder of the sunshine these holidays. Pack the family (and some Easter eggs) and get ready to relax, explore and get a golden glow in these idyllic towns.
How does unwinding to the sound of waves by your own beachside cabin sound? Or maybe you'd prefer waking to the songs of native birds? Neither has to stretch the imagination, thanks to our holiday resorts dotted along eastern NSW.
We've compiled a collection of some of our favourite destinations, whether you choose to pay a visit to one, two or all five destinations, these locations are an easy drive and a great option to make a road trip to remember.
1. The Snowy Mountains
Breath in crisp mountain air, take in the view of the snow-capped Snowy Mountains and be soothed as Lake Jindabyne’s foreshore calmly laps against the shore overlooked by Jindabyne Holiday Park.
If you are captured by the ideas of spending your day fly fishing, hiking to the highest point in Australia, or spending the afternoon upon a long walk around Lake Jindabyne, this is the place for you.

Located just three hours from Canberra, you'll be greeted by crystal-clear waters and sandy white beaches – no wonder it's referred to as the ‘gem of the Sapphire coast’ by the locals!
Snuggle up in a cabin or villa and wake to the sounds of the ocean. To top it off, these pet-friendly resorts means your pooch can come along for the ride. A true home-away-from-home at Merimbula.
