The harbour and the city
20 minCircular Quay, the Botanic Gardens and the ferries. Take the new Metro in and leave the car in the garage.
Your base for a Sydney holiday
A very quiet residential street, and still roughly twenty minutes from the water in three different directions — with the new Metro running into the city in about the same time.
Worth the drive
Brighton-Le-Sands
15 minCalm bay water, a long promenade and a row of Greek restaurants. The easy one with small kids.
Sydney Olympic Park
20 minStadiums, the aquatic centre and acres of parkland. If you’re here for a concert or a game, this is the closest comfortable bed to it.
Royal National Park
30 minWattamolla’s lagoon and beach, the coast track and the waterfalls. A whole day out without leaving the city’s edge.
Roselands Shopping Centre
walkColes, ALDI, a food hall and a fish counter. Buy prawns, walk home, eat them by the pool.
Sydney Airport
15 minClose enough for an early flight, far enough never to hear one. Fifteen minutes door to terminal.
Drive times are approximate and depend on traffic.
“The pool was amazing. We really liked the quiet neighbourhood, yet it wasn’t far from shopping centres etc.”

Getting around without a car
The new Metro station at Punchbowl is close by, and the Metro runs into the Sydney CBD in about twenty minutes, with trains every few minutes and no changes. The bus stop is five minutes on foot if you’d rather not walk to the station.
The airport is about fifteen minutes by road, and the M5 is close by if you’re driving: there’s a garage for two cars and plenty of unrestricted street parking out the front.
Bennett Park and the Lantern Club are both a short walk, as are Coles and ALDI — so a car isn’t needed for the everyday things. The street is residential and off the main road, so it stays quiet at night.

When to come
The pool is open all year. Sydney decides how much you use it.
Summer, Dec to Feb
Hot, humid, and the whole point of the pool. School holidays and New Year book out first, so ask early.
Autumn, Mar to May
Sydney at its best. Warm water into April, mild evenings on the terrace, fewer people everywhere.
Winter, Jun to Aug
Cool and bright. Not pool weather, but the quietest time of year and an easy base for work or family visits.
Spring, Sep to Nov
Jacarandas, long afternoons, and the water warming up again from about November.
