Neighbourhood overview
From the home you can take a leisurely stroll down to the beach to enjoy the sun and sand, have a swim in the waves, or take some laps in the ocean rock-pool of Wylies Baths. Coogee has many restaurants, shops and pubs, including supermarkets, delis and of course numerous cafes to sip on a smoothie or a latte.There are 75 to restaurants listed online with reviews. When you're hungry in the area we have great cuisine options such as Thai, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, South American, casual "Chish and Fips", Australian fusion and much more. Out of all the bars, Coogee Pavilion pub is currently one of the most popular Sydney hotspots "to be seen" at, ideal for cocktails overlooking the beach. Everything is accessible within minutes by foot. If you like walking one of the highlights of the area is the magnificent Coogee to Bondi Coastal Walk, with a number of beaches en-route and great views. It takes a leisurely 2 hours in one direction, but you could stop at any of the beaches on the way and return from there. If you walk all the way to the famous (but more crowded and less relaxing) Bondi Beach you could take public transport back, or just enjoy the whole day out and walk in both directions with as many stops as you want. On another day you could walk along the coast in the opposite direction to Maroubra Beach. After a few walks if you're still feeling energetic you could play tennis at the local courts, or have a more relaxing game of bare foot lawn bowls with a cold beer in hand. Both activities are also minutes away. If you love the water and want a change from swimming at Coogee Beach you could take a 15minute stroll to Clovelly Beach where we have great snorkelling. On the not so sunny days, take a bus to the city (15mins to Central Station) from where you can connect to any train stop, or stay on the bus a few minutes longer to centre point with all the world's high end fashion stores, or the famous opera house, the rocks, the harbour bridge or other sightseeing. All easily accessible from Coogee.

Getting around
Whether you are visiting for business or sightseeing, the Coogee neighbourhood offers you the best of two worlds, firstly it's a great place to relax near the beach, and secondly it gives you easy access to the Sydney City Centre for business or sight seeing. The advantage being at our location is that you have the comfort of being minutes to the city yet you are able to retreat back to a prime location with quiet and relaxing surroundings alongside a popular beach and fresh sea air. The city centre is 15 minutes away by car, Sydney's Central Train Station is 16mins away on the local bus (+3mins for a diff route) and our bus stops are minutes away. We can provide a travel card for you to use on the public transport. An uber or taxi to the domestic airport takes just 20minutes or +5mins for international. Many Uber drivers service the Coogee area, as well as taxis. We can even offer a personal airport shuttle in a luxury car for a small fee. We can provide maps for walking in the area (including the lovely coastal walk), location of bus stops and instructions on how to use the public transport.

Other things to note
Just note it's an 8 minute walk down to Coogee Bay Road restaurants, but when returning a small portion (about three minutes of the walk) is on a reasonably inclined hill, so it's not suitable for the elderly or very unfit.
