Visit Crows Nest

Crows Nest is located on Sydney's lower North Shore, just 15 minutes from the CBD. With a vibrant atmosphere and great range of shops, restaurants and activities, Crows Nest is a great base for any trip to Sydney.

As its name suggests, Crows Nest towers above much of Sydney, offering extensive views across the city and Pacific Ocean. Featuring a distinctive mix of modern high rises and 1930s style buildings and shopfronts, Crows Nest forms a bustling commercial and residential precinct.

The main streets pulse with assorted restaurants and shops. Over a fairly small area you'll find countless eateries, ranging from simple takeaways to fine dining establishments. There are dozens of cuisines on offer from all around the world, and the outdoor dining areas along Willoughby Road are always busy. Browse the various boutiques or head to North Sydney or Chatswood to explore the big shopping malls.

When it comes to leisure, Crows Nest has plenty of choices. Try salsa dancing lessons or indoor rock climbing, or relax with the family and dog in leafy Newlands or Brennan Parks. Go hiking, jogging or picnicking in St Leonards Park, or play cricket or football at North Sydney Oval next door. The park also hosts the outdoor Starlight Cinema in January and February.

Catch a ferry to Manly, discover the magnificent Northern Beaches, or spend the day at Taronga Park Zoo or Luna Park. Crows Nest is the perfect place to enjoy Sydney.
