Attractions in the area: Sydney Harbour and the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House. Sydney CBD 3.5 km Wendy Whiteley's picturesque Secret Garden in Lavender Bay was created by Wendy, the wife of Australian artist Brett Whiteley, on overgrown land owned by NSW State-Railways. The Ensemble Theatre in Kirribilli presents international plays and classic theatre as well as works by emerging Australian playwrights. Luna Park, a recently restored amusement complex on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, is the city's premier fun park and entertainment centre. Paved walking paths follow the Sydney foreshore in both directions and showcase the beauty and the history of the area. Milson's Point to Balmoral Beach, via Taronga Park Zoo is a stimulating, 17 km (one way) ramble. The views are just as spectacular on a shorter 'circuit' or 'loop walk'. A 'BridgeClimb' excursion offers an unrivalled vantage point for a 360° aerial panorama of the Sydney skyline and the harbour.
I would happily stay here next time I visit Sydney. Everything was perfect. Hotel style rooms, great breakfast and the location near shops, restaurants and public transport ideal. Didn't cost the earth, either!!
The Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart offer stylish accommodation at the newly renovated Mary MacKillop Place Accommodation complex, providing a peaceful, and relaxing home away from home to pilgrims, tourists and visitors to Sydney. The city's major tourism sights are right on the doorstep of this modern, comfortable and well-located hospitality centre. Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge is close by and the CBD and the Sydney Opera House are only a train stop away. Renowned as a centre of spirituality, education and hospitality, Mary MacKillop Place is unique in Australia. The heart of this sacred site is the Mary MacKillop Memorial Chapel where the tomb of Saint Mary MacKillop is located. Other features include a museum, celebrating the life, work and spirituality of Saint Mary MacKillop, facilities for education, gift shop and café.
Situated in North Sydney, Mary MacKillop Place Accommodation is close to Greenwood Plaza shopping centre with convenient transport options to Sydney's CBD. From North Sydney Station it is a one-stop train ride to the city. However, enjoy spectacular views of Sydney Harbour on a scenic, 45 minute stroll across the landmark Harbour Bridge. And crossing the beautiful harbour by ferry is a tourist attraction in itself! Or discover the sights on a hop-on-hop-off cruise boat!
