The Darling Harbour precinct is within easy walking distance to the Sydney Fish markets, the Star Casino, National Maritime Museum, Sydney's Chinatown district, and the popular Paddy's Markets. The Harbour area itself has a wide choice of restaurants, shopping outlets and beautiful parks and gardens to wander in, as well the Sydney Aquarium, wildlife centre and Sydney Chinese Gardens to visit.

You can walk to the city centre across the Pyrmont Bridge and be in the main shopping area within a few minutes. Or if you prefer you can take a bus, the light rail or even a ferry ride around the harbour, under the Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House and into Circular quay where you can visit the Modern Art Gallery and historical Rocks District. All transport options are available within a minutes walk from our home.

Many Saturday nights we are entertained with fireworks in the harbour in front of our balcony. This is a vibrant part of the Sydney landscape and home to many festivals.
