Gosford is a city at the heart of the New South Wales coastline, less than 8km from the renowned attractions of Sydney. Car hire in Gosford is popular, as the city is a perfect base from which to explore both Sydney and the Central Coast region. Gosford has access to some of the Central Coast's best beaches (Umina Beach etc.), as well as the Rumbalara and Katandra Nature Reserves, which are practically on the doorstep. Hiring a car in Gosford is available from the Downtown area of the city, as well as locations throughout Sydney, which is a reasonably distanced commute.
Visitors to Gosford will often head for Gosford Regional Gallery and Edogawa Commemorative Garden as the first port of call; the Japanese Gardens are a pleasant family attraction. For those hiring a car in Gosford, the Rumbalara and Katandra Nature Reserves are a 5km drive west on Wells Street. You can chalk off both parks in the same day by following on from Rumbalara and taking the Central Coast Highway to Katandra. Circumnavigate Brisbane water in a south-westerly direction and you'll come to the much-loved Brisbane Water National Park. Rent a car in Gosford and Sydney is about an hour's drive south on the Pacific Motorway, where you'll find the iconic Sydney Opera House and harbour.
