\"Sydney<\/figure>\n\n\n

We\u2019re coming around to that time of year where public holidays are far and few between, so, what better way to celebrate the incredible ladies in our lives than hiring a car and embarking on a girls\u2019 weekend getaway?<\/p>\n

Grab your gal pals, hire a car in Sydney<\/a>, choose from our list of girls\u2019 weekend ideas, and hit the road \u2013 because, contrary to popular belief, those boots aren\u2019t actually made for walking, they\u2019re made for driving.<\/p>\n

The Epic Girls Weekend Getaway \u2013Newcastle<\/h2>\n

163 km | 2.5-hour drive<\/em><\/p>\n

Treat your bride-to-be to her last hoorah in Newcastle<\/a>. The itinerary will be full of, boutique shopping and funky cafes along Darby Street, High Tea, and perhaps even a theatre show or some live music to get dolled up for.<\/p>\n

\"newcastle<\/p>\n

There are also a number of great spas, such as the Royal Day Spa<\/a> to indulge in a day of pampering with facials, manicures or massages for the whole group. Newcastle is also fast becoming a hot-spot for foodies, so there are plenty of options to enjoy a lavish dinner with the hen and all her ladies.<\/p>\n

The Mother\/Daughter Weekend Away \u2013 Hunter Valley<\/h2>\n

120 km | 1.75-hour drive <\/em><\/p>\n

Where better to spend an idyllic girls weekend with Mumma dearest than in beautiful wine country. Why not splurge on a luxury car<\/a> model like a Mercedes<\/a> or Tesla<\/a> model to cruise around the Hunter Valley, popping into a few of the 150 wine cellars at the Hunter.<\/p>\n

Tip: We recommend Audrey Wilkinson Wines for its stunning views.<\/p>\n

\"hunter<\/p>\n

Of course, if you want to make it an unforgettable weekend away with Mum, you could take her hot air ballooning over the luscious landscapes and rolling hills followed by a lovely walk through the surrounding state forests and national parks.<\/p>\n

The Soul-Searching Girls Weekend Getaway \u2013 Byron Bay<\/h2>\n

820 km | 10-hour drive<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s not to love about Byron Bay? It\u2019s full of experiences so grab your bestie and pack a suitcase because this trip is not short \u2013 but it\u2019s the type of trip you\u2019ll remember forever. The journey takes around 10 hours and could be split across two days. Stops include places such as Coffs Harbour<\/a> where a photo with the Big Banana is mandatory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"byron<\/p>\n

Byron put bohemian on the map, so here you\u2019ll enjoy the best farmers\u2019 markets with the most delicious organic selections, baristas brewing the perfect cups of coffee, and the locals full of spirit and creativity.<\/p>\n

The natural beauty of Byron is what makes it one of Australia\u2019s most enchanted places, and the perfect spot for a girls weekend getaway.<\/p>\n

The legendary surf, coupled with the stunning hinterlands and the magical vibe all over town allow for plenty of self-reflection, discovery, and absolute relaxation. So, once you\u2019ve found yourself, you might even decide to relocate and create your own dream life.<\/p>\n

An Adventurous Girls Weekend Away \u2013 Blue Mountains<\/h2>\n

62 km | 1-hour drive<\/em><\/p>\n

Make sure you charge your phone because there are plenty of spots to Instagram at the the Blue Mountains.<\/p>\n

\"blue<\/p>\n

Explore the heritage-listed national parks, hiking amongst the spectacular scenery of the Three Sisters or experience the ancient limestone of Jenolan Caves. Up the adventure ante and try abseiling, rock climbing or canyoning. One thing you don\u2019t want to miss is the unparalleled panoramic views of the Scenic Cableway \u2013 the steepest aerial cable car in the Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to hire a 4WD to roam around in, and, luckily, SIXT have a range of them available from many of the Sydney car hire locations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All you really need are your girls and your wheels. So, while SIXT car rental can sort you out with the latter, you just have to choose which girls\u2019 weekend road trip sounds the most appealing to you!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
