It is only five minutes walk to local shops and supermarket and two minutes walk to catch a bus to the major North shore suburb/centre of Chatswood (10 minutes) or Sydney city centre (20 minutes). The North shore beaches are just 20 minutes drive away. Ken left our home in Dublin clean and tidy and the exchange with him was friendly and pleasant. John and Christina Dublin
