The neighbourhood
Erskineville
Small suburb, short walk to everything
Erskineville is a few streets of terrace houses around an old village high street, with Newtown on one side and Alexandria and Sydney Park on the other. Locals know it for its pubs, its coffee and a lot of very well-walked dogs.
On your doorstep
The village
Cafés, pubs and small shops along Erskineville Road, a few minutes on foot. The Imperial Hotel, made famous by The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, still runs drag shows.
Getting around
Into the city
Erskineville station is about five minutes' walk from the door. Trains reach the CBD in around ten minutes, and the Harbour and Opera House are a short trip from there.
Walkable
Newtown
King Street and Enmore Road have the restaurants, bars, bookshops and vintage stores, and the Enmore Theatre for a gig.
Green space
Sydney Park
Wetlands, cycling paths, playgrounds and big lawns. It's one of the largest parks in inner Sydney and a favourite morning walk if you've brought the dog.
Weekends
Carriageworks
The arts centre at nearby Eveleigh runs exhibitions and performances, and its Saturday morning farmers market is worth getting up for.
Longer stays
Hospital, uni and work stays
Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the University of Sydney are close by in Camperdown. If you're in town for a few weeks, ask us about a weekly or monthly rate.
