Neighbourhood
Our neighbourhood is peaceful yet warm and friendly. 300 meters down the road it is vibrant and fast paced particularly during the week. Weekends are a bit more relaxed with mainly locals enjoying the cafes and pubs. Grocery stores, medical centres, dentists and bakeries are just minutes away. The famous seafood markets are also just a stroll down the road. The Star Entertainment complex, complete with high end restaurants, casino and Lyric Theatre is another Pyrmont drawcard. Darling Harbour, the recently gentrified Barangaroo, Darling Quarter and China Town are also in walking distance. Each of these places offer fine dining, casual eating, bars and are extremely colourful places to explore. There are several parks with outdoor gyms, basketball courts and child friendly activities nearby. Major tourist attractions such as : The Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Botanic Gardens, Art Gallery are all within walking distance (30-45 minutes) or you can catch the ferry. The neighbourhood of Pyrmont really is very close to the heart of Sydney.
