Truly Refs: 1598 (Standard accommodation), 1599 (Superior accommodation)
Day 1

Superior -  Lilianfels (Deluxe Room)

Day 2 
Leave your accommodation in the Blue Mountains and drive to the Hunter Valley. Rather than driving towards outer Sydney to join the busy Pacific Highway, a quieter and more scenic route is to head towards the historic river town of Windsor and then travel along the Putty Road to enter the Hunter Valley at the hamlet of Broke.
Overnight: 
Standard Hunter Resort - pictured (Hunter Room)
Superior -   Peppers Guest House (Classic Room)

Aerial view of Hunter Valley and the Hunter Valley Resort

Day 3 
Today drive from the Hunter Valley to Port Stephens, a natural bay two and a half times the size of Sydney Harbour and almost enclosed by two dormant volcanic headlands.  Native bush land, sheltered white beaches and small fishing villages edge the sparkling blue water. Bottlenose dolphins frequent the bay.
Overnight: 
Standard -   Salamander Shores (Sea View Room)
Superior -   Peppers Anchorage (Anchorage Room)

Peppers Anchorage, Port Stephens

Day 4
Drive from Port Stephens to Sydney.
