Hotels in New South Wales, Australia

New South Wales, a southeastern Australian state with a temperate climate, is famous for Sydney's Opera House and Harbor Bridge, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, and coastal beaches like Bondi. Summer temperatures average 80 degrees F (27 degrees C), drawing surfers to Bondi and sailors to Sydney Harbour, while winter's 55 degrees F (13 degrees C) brings hikers to the Blue Mountains' Three Sisters lookout and skiers to the Snowy Mountains. For a different vibe, explore Sydney's urban beaches and nightlife or the Hunter Valley for wine tours in the cooler months.
