This is a good location on a bus route to and from the city and with a ferry that takes you to the city is 5 minutes walk away . There is a great pub (The Oaks) and many types of restaurants 10 minutes walk up a hill (or 2 mins on a bus) that just about caters for all tastes. From my experience over 12 + years of visiting Sydney you will not get better value or pleasure from your visit.
