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. 

Carved by rivers, cloaked in temperate rainforest and ringed by mountains, Tasmania’s Western Wilds is a region built for slow travel. This relaxed 7 day round trip from Hobart keeps daily driving to 3 hours or less and focuses on time in nature. Walk to famous waterfalls under giant eucalypts, picnic beside deep glacial lakes, cruise through World Heritage wilderness, and watch for platypus at dusk. For weather, the west is wild year round. Summer and early autumn bring the mildest, driest conditions. Winter is beautiful but often cold and rainy, with brisk winds and frequent showers on the coast, so pack warm layers and waterproofs. This itinerary sticks to sealed roads suitable for an Apollo 2WD campervan and avoids long unsealed detours, keeping the pace easy and the scenery front and centre.
