Destination guide

Experience the Northern Beaches in holiday homes to rent

North of Sydney lies the Northern Beaches area of Australia. Noted for its pristine sands and aqua blue waters, this area is notably quiet compared with Sydney proper, so it functions as a nice getaway that’s not too far from the attractions of the city. The Northern Beaches area, however, is packed full of plenty of attractions in its own right, and the beaches themselves are just the beginning. By booking one of the local holiday homes to rent, you can enjoy this area all for yourself.

Outdoor activities

When you book holiday accommodation in the Northern Beaches area, you’ll always be close to outdoor adventure and activities. At Narrabeen Lagoon, you can walk along an 8-kilometre path around the lagoon offering scenic views of the area and its wildlife. You can even venture into the lagoon itself with a pedal boat or kayak. If you’re interested in bird-watching, some of the best species can be found in the wetlands area. Beachside golf courses are also prevalent throughout the area in towns like Avalon and Manly to relax with a few holes on immaculate greens.

Beaches

The stars of the Northern Beaches area are obviously the beaches themselves. With quite a few to choose from, they all have something special to offer. The most popular beach is likely Manly Beach. It’s the perfect place to swim, surf or simply lie out and enjoy the sun, and there’s year-round lifeguard service for extra peace of mind. If you’re looking to surf, one of the best destinations is Curl Curl Beach, which is known for some of the best waves in the area and regularly draws top surfers. You may want to visit Palm Beach as well, where you’ll find both an east and west side of the peninsula allowing you to watch the sun rise and set over the water.

How to get around

Transport to Northern Beaches holiday homes

Because of its proximity to Sydney, getting to the Northern Beaches area is easy. Those travelling from great distances can fly into Sydney’s international airport first, and from there it’s about 30 kilometres or so to the Northern Beaches. You can hire a car and drive yourself, and there’s also a bus service that can take you the entire length of the area to local holiday homes. Additionally, there are ferries available that travel from Sydney Harbour to the Northern Beaches. Once you’ve made it here, you can drive around the area easily enough, but parking is costly. It may be best to walk or cycle around the Northern Beaches or take the bus.
