The Best Winter Road Trips Australia Has to Offer

2025-08-18

Cosy fires, long lunches, whale watching and the thrill of the open road: here are eight unforgettable destinations for a winter getaway.

When the winter chill sets in, weekends curled up on the couch have their appeal. But if you’re someone who can’t sit still, the cooler months offer a different kind of magic. Winter road-tripping means fewer crowds, cosy fireplace meals, crisp country air and excellent off-peak deals on luxury accommodation. And what better way to enjoy it than behind the wheel of your Mercedes-Benz?

Before you hit the road, remember to book in your service at Tynan Motors Mercedes-Benz Miranda to make sure your vehicle is road-trip ready. Whether it’s a quick winter escape or a week-long adventure, peace of mind starts with preparation.

Lennox Head, NSW

Start close to home with one of New South Wales’ most relaxed coastal gems. Lennox Head offers a laid-back vibe compared to Byron Bay but with just as much natural beauty. Spend the morning surfing or whale-watching, then enjoy a long lunch overlooking the ocean. The hinterland drives through rainforest and macadamia farms are unmissable.

Darwin, Northern Territory

Trade winter chill for balmy 30°C days in Darwin. Align your trip with the Darwin Festival in August for music, comedy, cabaret and art. Add an adventure to Litchfield or Kakadu National Park to see ancient rock art, waterfalls and incredible wildlife.

Coolangatta, Queensland

About 100km south of Brisbane, Coolangatta is a food and surf haven. Indulge in waterfront dining, join a whale-watching tour just offshore, or head inland for a winding scenic drive through Springbrook.

King Valley, Victoria

Rolling vineyards, Italian-style hospitality and fine wines define the King Valley. Follow the famous “Prosecco Road,” explore family-run wineries, and enjoy hearty rustic cuisine. A short drive takes you to Beechworth or Mount Buller for a winter snow escape.

Kangaroo Island, South Australia

With wildlife, rugged coastlines and untouched landscapes, Kangaroo Island is one of Australia’s most breathtaking winter road trips. Drive through Flinders Chase National Park or along the North Coast Road for unforgettable views.

Denmark, Western Australia

In WA’s south, Denmark offers a mix of white sandy beaches, emerald waters and lush forests. Stop at Elephant Rocks, explore national parks, and finish your day with a glass of Chardonnay from the Margaret River region.

Make Your Journey Seamless

No matter which direction you head this winter, the right vehicle makes the difference. The Mercedes-Benz SUV range at Tynan Motors Mercedes-Benz Miranda offers luxury, performance and space — perfect for your road-tripping adventure.
