King Street Newtown has everything you could possibly desire, but if you walk a little further, down Erskineville Road and across the railway bridge, you get a lovely village feel where you can relax at one of "Erko Village"'s coffee shops. Also good for nightlife.

Shopping

We love Broadway Shopping Centre because you can do your groceries, clothes shopping and much more. You can walk there from our house in about half an hour, or just hop on the 412 bus. The 412 stops on Salisbury Rd at the end of our street and takes about 10 minutes to Broadway.

We often go down to Sydney Opera House because it's such an beautiful structure and it's lovely to have good food down by the water. Nothing in the world beats that view!

This launderette is 10-15 minutes walk from our house and there are another 3 launderettes just under 15 minutes walk. If you are staying for more than a couple of nights, I would be happy to throw some of your laundry in with ours, as long as there's enough time to air dry it as we don't have a dryer.
