Funky Places To Stay In NSW

I have been doing my research and getting a head start on places I would like to stay in New South Wales this year and I have come across some pretty funky places. I thought I should share these in case anyone out there is looking for somewhere a little different to stay, as it sounds like our overseas travel plans are on the back burner for a little longer.

You don’t always have to stay in a hotel or Airbnb when you go away. Why not try out staying in one of these unique types of accommodation? It is sure to be a special experience and leave you with a story to tell. The links are right below too so it will take you directly to the website.

  • Cockatoo Island - stay on a historic island, glamping style staying on the waterfront camping ground. There are five camping packages to choose from

  • Taronga Zoo, Sydney - stay in tents at the zoo for the night at the Roar and Snore

  • Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo - stay overnight at the zoo. Choose from Zoofari Lodge, Savannah Cabins or Billabong Camp

  • Nambucca Valley Train Carriages - in Wirrimbi, NSW on a nine-acre property

  • James Craig Tall Ship - stay overnight, sleeping in a hammock on this 19th-century square-rigger

  • Scifleet Silos - just out of Mudgee stay in a converted silo on a 250-acre working farm

  • Paperbark Camp - Jervis Bay - stay at a bush retreat in premium tents
