We stayed at Annette’s apartment for a week in July. Very much enjoyed the space of the apartment and the fabulous view of the harbour with the Opera house and the Bridge. Taking the ferries every day was sure fun and wasn’t very expensive when there is both a daily and weekly cap. As we didn’t have a vehicle we used the ferries a lot. We walked up to the Woolworths and then took the bus back down hill to the McMahon ferry stop. Annette provided bread, butter, eggs, jam and tea and coffee to get us started which was great after flying 20 hours. There is lots of information provided about what is to see and Annette has provided a binder with thorough info about the operation of the apartment. Would recommend going to Manly and taking the hike around North head, info from the tourism office as you exit the ferry. Also the short walk to South Head from Watson Bay. We also took the VIP Aussie tour at the Taronga zoo. Only six people with two guides and many behind the scenes excursions. Also went to the Art Gallery of NSW. Recommend taking the one hour tour of the Australian Art. Well worth the time to get a basic knowledge. Tour of Opera House was also good for behind the scenes info. Would recommend Annette’s apartment to get away from all the noise of the CBD. Thanks Annette
