Kathy’s home in Randwick is perfect if you want something close to Sydney but gives you the option to enjoy the towns nearby. The bus into Sydney is almost outside the house, so this provides a link to the rest of the extensive public transport system (a tram service will be available soon too). Opposite Kathy’s house is the most amazing Centennial Park; lakes, walks, fantastic wildlife (including flying foxes roosting in the trees!) and a tasty coffee and snack mean you can spend a happy hour enjoying the peace and tranquility.
There is so much to see and do in Sydney you will never be bored. We bought tickets for a performance at the Opera House, took ferry rides and walked miles around the streets. The Rocks and Bangaroo are beautiful and fascinating if you are interested in history, social change and architecture. Bangaroo Reserve is ‘must see’!
Outside of the CBD are many other towns some with lovely seaside fronts and beaches. The bus to Coogee Beach is about five minutes away and takes you right to the promenade with shops, cafes and glorious golden sands in less than twenty minutes.
Kathy is always on hand if you need some help and advice but you have your own space and privacy. A great place for exploring Sydney and the surrounding areas.
