Directions to the Grove

The Grove is a 1.5-hour drive (approx. 82km) from Sydney, this can stretch to 2.5-hours if you travel at peak times – especially if leaving Sydney on a Friday afternoon.

Make sure you take these directions with you as there are areas with no mobile reception – hence your smart phone navigation may not work!

For those coming from Sydney, navigation devices will often direct people through Windsor – avoid this as it will add an extra hour on to the trip and include a 23km dirt road!
