Getting from ibis Newcastle to Sydney Airport
From ibis Newcastle on King Street, the most direct route to Sydney Airport heads south via the Hunter Expressway, joining the M1 Pacific Motorway through Wahroonga and Lane Cove Tunnel. Under normal conditions this takes approximately 2h–2h 30min covering ~165 km.
