Dawes Point

Converted wharves, water on three sides and Pirrama Park's waterfront lawns right on the harbour. City-close living with room to stretch the legs.

Harbour finger-wharf glamour with city grit, a stroll from the CBD. Walkable, characterful and handy for a waterside lap.

Cobblestones, harbour pubs and weekend markets under the Bridge. Sydney's oldest corner does history and a waterfront wander in one — dog by your side.

Erko keeps it small and friendly — village pubs, leafy lanes and a water bowl at every door. Inner-city character without the crowds, dog by your side.

Leafy backstreets, off-leash pockets and a cafe scene that actually wants your dog there. Crown Street's the morning-walk MVP — coffee at one end, a tie-up spot at every other.

Harbourside paths, pocket parks and big-city buzz. The CBD hides a few four-legged-friendly corners — just mind the no-go zones like the Botanic Garden.

Sandstone terraces, boutique-lined Oxford Street and the leafy hush of Five Ways. Paddo does fashion and Sunday strolls in equal measure — bring a well-dressed dog.

Terrace streets beside Sydney Uni and Redfern's buzz, leafy and walkable. Inner-city character with green pockets close by.

Glebe's quieter neighbour, with Harold Park's tramshed eats and Federation terraces on leafy lanes. Village-small, walkable and reliably dog-friendly.

A brand-new harbour precinct with a headland park and foreshore promenade. Waterfront, walkable and made for a city-edge stroll.
