Rolling ocean, pristine white-sand bays and lush rainforest make the New South Wales South Coast a dreamy escape for two. This five day round trip from the Apollo Sydney branch blends slow coastal drives, easy walks, cycling, picnics, and local bakeries with time to truly unwind. Autumn and spring are ideal, with comfortable temperatures and clear days that suit kayaking, hiking and long beach strolls. Travel in an Apollo 2WD campervan keeps things flexible and relaxed, and with driving limited to around three hours or less per day you will have more time for swims, sunset lookouts and shared plates at seaside eateries. Whale watching is a seasonal highlight from May to November along this coast, and calm mornings in Jervis Bay are perfect for a couples’ paddle. Stick to sealed roads, avoid beach driving, and prebook national park camping where required. 

Ancient headlands, white-sand beaches and turquoise bays make the New South Wales Sapphire Coast a dream for a campervan escape. This five-day journey runs south from Sydney to Jervis Bay, continues through Bermagui and Merimbula to Eden, then arcs back north to laid-back Tathra. Expect wildlife-rich waters, coastal walks and fresh local produce at every turn. Spring is a standout time to go thanks to mild weather and whale migrations, while summer brings long beach days and warm evenings. With short driving days and memorable overnight stays, this itinerary is designed for easy days behind the wheel and plenty of time to explore.

Swap city buzz for misty valleys, sandstone cliffs, and eucalyptus-scented air on this slow, scenic couples escape from Sydney to the Blue Mountains. Designed for an Apollo 2WD campervan, this five day loop sticks to sealed roads and keeps drives under three hours, leaving more time for sunrise lookouts, gentle hikes, mountain picnics, and cosy village eats. Spring and autumn are ideal for this journey, with comfortable temperatures, blooming wildflowers, and fiery foliage creating a beautiful backdrop. Start and finish at Apollo’s Sydney branch, then meander to Katoomba, Blackheath, and Oberon via the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, Mount Tomah, with an optional detour to the Jenolan Caves. Take it slow, savour the views, and let each day unfold at a relaxed pace – this is the perfect long weekend getaway for two. 

Cross Australia’s tropical top end on the legendary Savannah Way, linking the rainforest-fringed coast of Cairns to the pearly sands of Broome. This relaxed 21 day 4WD camper itinerary follows the classic route through the Gulf Savannah, Northern Territory’s waterfall country and the Kimberley. Expect a mix of sealed and unsealed roads, short daily drives, and time to stretch your legs on hikes, swims and wildlife encounters. The dry season generally runs May to September in this region, with some areas travelling well into October, while summer brings monsoonal rain that can flood roads.  

Note that Apollo branches in Alice Springs, Darwin and Broome are closed 1 December to 31 March. Some sections, including Normanton to Borroloola, Limmen National Park and access to Purnululu, are restricted for 4WD rentals and require prior written approval from Apollo Motorhomes. Always check road conditions and secure required national park passes for NT and WA before you go. 

Sun-soaked beaches, ancient rainforests, and the world’s largest coral reef system await on this legendary coastal journey. Collect your 2WD campervan from the Apollo Brisbane branch, then make the short hop to the Gold Coast to begin. The tropical dry season typically runs May to September in the far north, with many tourism operators considering May to October a dry window. Expect cooler, sunny days and excellent underwater visibility for Great Barrier Reef snorkeling. Humpback whales visit Hervey Bay from mid July to October, creating one of Australia’s most memorable wildlife shows. Most driving days sit around two to three hours, with a couple that are a little longer, leaving plenty of time for picnic stops, waterfall wanders, forest walks, and long sandy beaches all the way to Cairns.
