Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Northern Beaches
Northern Beaches — a region worth exploring
Northern Beaches stretches across 35 kilometres of coastline north of Sydney Harbour, from Manly to Palm Beach, making it one of Australia's most rewarding regions to explore on four wheels. The Barrenjoey Lighthouse at Palm Beach marks the northernmost tip, offering panoramic views across Broken Bay and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. From Dee Why to Avalon, the coastal road connects over 20 distinct beaches, each with its own character and community feel. The drive from Manly Wharf to Palm Beach covers roughly 38 kilometres and takes you through laid-back suburbs, native bushland, and dramatic headlands. Narrabeen Lagoon, one of the largest coastal lagoons in Sydney, is a favourite spot for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, while the 10-kilometre Manly to Spit Bridge walk showcases harbour views and Aboriginal rock engravings. North Head Sanctuary, just minutes from Manly, is home to a colony of endangered long-nosed bandicoots and former military fortifications. The distance from Sydney CBD to Mona Vale is approximately 30 kilometres, giving you easy access to quieter northern stretches. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners across the Sydney region, choosing from a range of vehicles that suit your group size and travel style. Whether you are planning a weekend escape or a longer coastal adventure, a motorhome gives you the freedom to wake up by the water and explore at your own pace.
Best time to visit
The Northern Beaches enjoy a temperate climate year-round, with summer (December to February) bringing warm days ideal for surfing and coastal walks. The Australian Open of Surfing, held at Manly Beach each March, draws crowds and creates a buzzing atmosphere worth timing your trip around. Autumn (March to May) offers comfortable temperatures and fewer visitors, making it a great window for campervan travel along the coast. Winter whale-watching season from June to November is a highlight at North Head lookout. With Yescapa, you can take advantage of peer-to-peer pricing during quieter months, often finding better rates on motorhome hire outside the peak summer holidays.

Great experience renting the Jimny. The owners were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and the Jeep was in excellent condition. It was perfect for exploring the Algarve. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent from them again!

Clean, well-maintained vehicle that gave us so many great memories! We traveled to many places and drove around 900 km ourselves, and it handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to its size, parking was super easy, we could fit anywhere, and we were able to sleep in spots where a different kind of campervan wouldn't have worked. It is fully equipped with everything provided, even extra games for beach days! The bed and bedding were clean, and it has a really comfortable mattress. The owners were super nice and sweet. Everything went smoothly during both pickup and drop-off, and they were always there to help whenever we needed it, even when we got a bit lost! 😅 Plus point that they were super cool and easy to talk to. P.S. The AC works like a charm!

Sergey's van is great. Really spacious, easy to drive. We had a great trip. Sergey was really nice helpful and was on hand to help with any questions during the trip. He even gave us a lift to the train station in Ljubljana! Would 100% recommend.
