Neighbourhoods
An absolute paradise with everything at your door. An easy 20 minute ferry ride from the Opera House and you arrive at a casual, friendly, stunning beachside region with oodles of cafes and restaurants, a stunning surf beach, a calmer swimming area on the harbour side, activities galore from surfing, snorkelling, swimming, cycling, running, walking. A stunning vibe and a perfect destination for young thru to old, something here for everyone
