So, if you’re heading north to stay at Reflections Jimmys Beach, consider adding the following attractions to your travel itinerary.
Looking to refuel somewhere a little bit different? One hour out of Sydney on the Pacific Highway you’ll find the Old Road Café. A firm favourite with the motorcycling crowd, this spot is gaining quite a reputation for its friendly service, great coffee and sublime bacon and egg rolls.
It’s hard to miss this one. Just 15 minutes from the Old Road Cafe, the Australian Reptile Park is a hands-on zoo located in a natural Aussie bush setting. And it’s not just about reptiles. Say g’day to a range of native animals from koalas and kangaroos to birds and even spiders (if you dare!).
It’s worth turning off onto Wyong Road for this gorgeously restored destination. With chocolate and cheese factories, a café and tavern, kids’ playground, kayak hire and more, you could easily spend the entire day here, sampling delicious food and enjoying the picture-perfect surrounds.
Just down from the Wyong Milk Factory is Tree Tops Central Coast. Experience the Australian bush like never before as you climb, weave and fly through the trees on self-guided rope courses. Don’t miss the Tree Top Crazy Rider; the ultimate combination of rollercoaster and flying fox!
Back on the Pacific Highway and less than one hour out of Hawks Nest is the award-winning Hunter Region Botanic Gardens. Meander along the easy walking trails through stunning natural bushland and keep an eye out for the local wildlife residents.
So forget boring road trips! Make the M1 fun by dropping in to one of these fabulous attractions as you journey from Sydney to Reflections Jimmys Beach.
