The Lodge is a 15 minute walk to Sydney’s CBD! Close by you can walk to Kings Cross, Potts Point, Oxford St and Surry Hills with their distinct and vibrant entertainment precincts!Sydney has an almost endless variety of activities and attractions to entertain. You can take to the harbour, come face-to-face with Australia’s diverse wildlife, go behind the scenes at art galleries and the Sydney Opera House, or climb a city icon.

Things to do

• Slip under the sails of the Sydney Opera House for a tour and performance.
• Sydney Art Tours runs regular tours of some of Sydney’s best galleries, as well as specialised programs.
• At Sydney Wildlife World visit the butterfly nursery before getting up close to these gorgeous creatures in their steamy Flutterbys butterfly habitat. The ‘Shark Explorer’ glass-bottom boat at Sydney Aquarium floats above the Great Barrier Reef oceanarium. You’ll see shark feeding in perfect safety.
• One of the most exhilarating ways to enjoy Sydney Harbour is on a BridgeClimb, a trek which takes you to the summit of the Harbour Bridge. Climb at dawn, day, twilight or night, or take the Discovery Climb, which takes you for a closer look at the inside workings of the Bridge.
• See the harbour at breakneck speed from a jet boat, where you’ll experience 270° spins and the “powerbrake stop.” Or move at a more leisurely pace and hire a kayak to paddle around secret harbour coves and beaches.
• There’s a full calendar of events at Sydney Olympic Park, including sporting fixtures and kid’s activities, along with regular bike, walking and behind the scenes sports-lovers tours.

Don’t miss:

• Taronga Zoo’s animal residents regularly join the chorus during the annual Twilight at Taronga concert series. The concerts are staged every weekend throughout February and March.
