Sydneysiders love the Central Coast
‍

Just over an hour from Sydney, the Central Coast draws a steady mix of Sydney weekenders, summer holidaymakers and visitors drawn to the beaches, lakes and national parks that define the area.

Demand peaks sharply in December and January. Occupancy climbs to 71% in January and ADRs reach $569 in December and $528 in January, driven by New Year's celebrations, school holidays and the pull of a summer escape within easy reach of the city. Long weekends throughout the year generate consistent demand, and the proximity to Sydney makes the Central Coast a natural choice for short breaks all year round.
