5 Best Places to Visit in Sydney for a Truly Local Experience

Sydney is an incredible city that has a range of iconic and more familiar sites. With its sun drenched beaches, incredible sites, and delicious neighbourhoods, there really is something for all tastes. If you're a tourist visiting for the first time, or a long time resident who wants to fall back in love with your city - have a look at the following five places in Sydney that show exactly how wonderful it is.

1. The Oaks Historical Residence – A Step Back in Time

If you want to experience a unique side of Sydney that most tourists miss, The Oaks Historical Residence in Camden is a true gem. This beautifully preserved residence reflects the heritage and charm of old Australia, offering a peaceful escape from the city's hustle. With its lush gardens, period architecture, and serene country vibe, it's ideal for weekend getaways, small events, or just soaking up history. Owned and cared for by Sir Trevor Garland, this boutique-style residence is a favourite among those who appreciate history and elegance in equal measure.

The Oaks Garden Function Venue

The Oaks Historical Residence, built in 1884, is a rare example of a rural gentleman's residence and is of high historical significance. The manicured gardens and wide sweeping verandah of The Oaks is available for hire for outdoor functions.

The Oaks is situated with close proximity to the M7 and the Novatel Hotel is close by. There are 3 acres of gardens and Cumberland forest providing a relaxed and welcoming environment with old world charm.

The Oaks Film Location

The Oaks is a six bedroom Victorian Mansion built in 1884. The Oaks is a rare example of a country gentleman's residence and is of significant historic importance to Oakhurst, Western Sydney. 

The Oaks historic homestead has wide surrounding verandahs. The sounds of modern traffic are non-existent and this location is also not under any flight paths. The Oaks is on an isolated site of 3 acres so there is ample parking off the street for vehicles, trucks and film production equipment.

2. Royal Botanic Garden – A Green Oasis in the Heart of Sydney

Just a short stroll from the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Botanic Garden offers 30 hectares of themed gardens, walking paths, and spectacular harbour views. It’s perfect for a relaxing picnic or a scenic jog. Locals love it for early morning yoga sessions or weekend family outings. Don't forget to check out the Aboriginal Heritage Tour to learn more about the area’s deep cultural roots.

3. Manly Beach – More Than Just Surf

While Bondi gets all the global attention, Manly Beach is where Sydneysiders head for a more laid-back coastal vibe. A 30-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay, Manly offers not only great waves but also trendy cafes, bike hire, and a scenic walk to Shelly Beach. It's a favourite among families and surfers alike. Plus, you’ll often spot locals enjoying fish and chips by the promenade.

4. Newtown – Sydney’s Artsy Soul

If you're into street art, indie music, and quirky vintage shops, Newtown is your go-to suburb. Located just south of the CBD, Newtown bursts with creativity and character. King Street is lined with bookstores, craft beer bars, and vegan eateries. It’s where Sydney’s alternative culture thrives, and the nightlife is as vibrant as the murals that colour its walls.

5. Barangaroo Reserve – Urban Renewal Done Right

Once an industrial site, Barangaroo Reserve has been transformed into a stunning waterfront park with native bushland, walking paths, and panoramic harbour views. It's a great spot for sunset selfies or a quiet lunch break. Locals love the blend of nature and design – a nod to modern Sydney’s commitment to sustainability and heritage.Whether you're planning a day out or looking to explore your own backyard, Sydney offers endless options. And for a touch of history and luxury, don’t forget to check out The Oaks Historical Residence – it’s a place where time slows down and stories come alive.

The Oaks: Monthly Spotlight on Local Businesses & Residents

Q&A with Mike Finizio Investment Professional & Neighborhood Pride Program Volunteer

1. It's inevitable for anyone driving to or from their home in the Oaks that they'll see you patrolling the neighborhood with straw hat, rubber gloves and trash bag at hand. How did you take it upon yourself to provide such a critical role to the neighborhood and keep our streets clean?

On a walk with my buddy, Scott Riepe, one day about 15 years ago we noticed a lot of trash. My complaints were answered with his response that, instead of complaining, I should do something about it. That’s when the neighborhood cleanup began, and it has evolved over the years. My wife, Erin, refined the process. She requested that I wear rubber gloves for cleanliness and have two bags - one for trash and one for recycling. She’s the smart one of the household. I listened.

2. One can't help but notice your overall level of fitness - either you are picking up some heavy trash items out there or walking the neighborhood is just one part of your fitness routine. Talk about the importance of fitness in your life and the dedication you place on it.

Walking is part of my fitness program. I do at least 2 miles a day here or wherever we are, even on vacation, and picking up trash is also part of that wherever we are. Manhattan is too much of a challenge though after two full bags, which happens in about one block! My regular fitness routine is 90 minutes a day in the gym, six days a week plus walking 2 miles a day every day. Throw in some push-ups and pull-ups twice a week.

3. You've now lived in the Oaks for 17 years; what do you love about the neighborhood?

My wife and I love the Oaks for many reasons. We walk to everything, and everything is within reach, but most of all, it’s the people we’ve met, our neighbors, and all the friends we have made. We love our neighbors.

4. Give us two restaurants in the neighborhood that you love that might not be on our radar.

Believe it or not, one of our favorite restaurants we found out about through the author of the last Oaks HOA article. She told us about La Pergoletta. We have been fans ever since. The Birds is a perfect go-to, and Franklin and Company has always been one of our favorites.

5.  Keeping our neighborhood streets clean I'm sure makes you feel good and keeps you out in the fresh air, but what unintended benefits has that mission brought you?

NPP is the acronym given to the 2 mile walk and picking up trash. It stands for “Neighborhood Pride Program.” Other than keeping our neighborhood clean and beautiful, I have been very fortunate to meet so many neighbors while walking and picking up trash. On the walk, I also enjoy handing out dog treats from Tailwaggers to our 4-legged neighbors. These dogs are protecting our neighborhood, keeping an eye on things and keeping our fellow neighbors in shape with all the walks. Dog treats are their reward.
