Balmain Sailing Club
Get yourself on a boat for Balmain Regatta, last Sunday of October... Just do it!
One of Sydney's oldest historically working class suburbs set on a stunning peninsula in the middle of the harbour with beautiful green spaces, a real community village vibe and some of the best pubs in town this neighbourhood has something for everyone. From its working class roots Balmain has risen to be one of the most sort after spots in the "inner west" and being less than 6kms by land or 2 minutes by boat from the hustle of Sydney's CBD you can really see why Balmain has such a charm.

Balmain is one of Sydney's oldest working class suburbs. What better way to work up a thirst than by weaving your way up Darling St on your way to one of Balmain's great old school pubs for a cold one!
Balmain has its hipsters too... and they make a mean coffee too! Great little cafe at the Back of Balmain's iconic Mens Institute Arcade with a focus on Single origin Coffee and fresh produce.
Enjoy a carafe of red wine and a bowl of saffron and ossobuco risotto.
One of the few Sydney suburbs where dogs are welcome everywhere. Take them to the local butchers or as a companion in the local pub.
Experience traditional Japanese hospitality in a beautiful 1800's sandstone cottage.
Leave the rest of Sydney behind you. Can you imagine a better way to visit or return home than on an iconic ferry?
Organic, zero waste, bulk health food store, selling nuts, grains, dried fruits and salts. Knowing what goes in your food and making bread or museli from scratch is where its at!
Cool Sydney fashion label with a commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Australian brand Bassike does the basics well, when you're looking for a structured but minimalist t-shirt, shirt or pant, this is the place to go.
An inspiring, energetic space dedicated to the creative collaboration of art + ink.
Awesome place for a morning dip or just to chill out on a hot summers afternoon. Built in 1880 and named after our favourite Olympian, Dawn Frazer baths are the oldest tidal flow salt water pool in Australia.
Proper Aussie pub, with a really special view from the balcony.
Amazing European industrial wares for that sought after, one-off piece.
Vibrant restaurant and bar focusing on Seasonal Australian produce designed to share in a relaxed Neighbourhood dining setting. My go to place for a boozy dinner with family and friends.
One of Sydney's true hidden historical gems. Quirky park filled with artworks, Australian natives and amazing views of the harbour.
