Only 100 metres from our apartment building is the impressive Sydney park. A massive green space with plenty of views towards the city. Heritage listed chimney stacks on site add a historic touch.

Food Scene
My new favourite place to eat! A modern take on tapas and sharing plates in a small, cosy atmosphere. Great home made soda's, cocktails and a good selection of wine. Dessert is a must!

When you think Turkish food do you think kebabs? Pasha's show that Turkish food is so much more by serving up traditional meals in a cosy and intimate setting. It is BYO, which is even better.

Arts & Culture
Cinema's how they are supposed to be! A small cinema that manages to re-create that movie magic feeling - not like the huge chain cinemas. Right on King Street in the heart of Newtown.

Shopping
Newtown has plenty of retro gift stores but Holy Kitsch is a favourite. Think Mexican day of the dead retro and you'll see why this shop is different than others. Well worth a visit.
