The proximity to the City via Sydney Harbour ferries or the local bus, and the easy walking to the famous local "Balmain village". The village contains a wonderful array of interesting be-spoke shops (including fashion and lifestyle, bakeries etc.) as well as top quality Restaurants and an array of fantastic cafés.
And not least the easy walking distance to many of the famous old Balmain corner pubs with their excellent menu choices as well as live music most weekend nights or trivia nights during the week.
Additionally there is a multitude of beautiful harbourside parks to relax and perhaps picnic while watching the yachts sailing past.
(Picnic blankets provided)
All of which makes this an excellent base from which to make the most of your stay in Sydney.
