The New South Wales region
Sydney's Northern Beaches are only a couple of hours from the beautiful Blue Mountains and the NSW Wine region of the Hunter Valley. Both are popular day trips for overseas visitors. Taronga Zoo offers some of the best views of Sydney Harbour and, only 20mins by car, is a great day trip. North Head and Governor Phillip Look out both have spectacular views.
Don't forget to visit the very famous Palm Beach (otherwise known as Summer Bay) and while there hike up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse. On the way back to fabulous Freshwater, pull in to the Newport Arms Hotel for a bite to eat or just a drink.
Drop in to Manly Ocean World and walk under the sharks and experience the thrills of Manly Water Works water slides. Only half an hour on the ferry from Manly across gorgeous Sydney Harbour is Sydney City itself.

A wonderful location with amazing views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandcastles. Close proximity to Manly. Spacious with plenty of room for our party of 6 adults to spread out. Very good value for money Ann - May 2008.
Magnificent views! Lovely welcoming house, fully equipped in every way. A home away from home. Everything necessary for a great holiday provided here at Sand Castle. Private but central to whatever one needs. Top rating 10/10. Thanks Michael and Caroline. We'll be back. Rosemary. Rosemary - May 2008.
Very nice property, well located. Very nice beach at walking distance. Every claim on the description is true. We were 4 adults and 3 children and had plenty of room. Martin - April 2008.

We emigrated from Reading, England with our two small children. What a fantastic way to start our new lives in Australia. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and watching the whales every day has been fantastic - we will miss the views and closeness to the sea. Caroline and Michael have been very helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. David and Louise Oct 6-Nov 9 2008
