Great location with unsurpassed 180 degree views of channel, ocean bridge and park.

You can walk to all shopping, coffee shops, hotels, bowling club, and surf club.
Or just sit on your balcony and see the passing parade, the fishermen, swimmers, boating, prawning, and fireworks right in front on New Year Australia Day and other occasions during the year.
If you are lucky, you will see the Air Force fly over at the Anzac Day Memorial service in the park 2 minutes from your door, or the jets just flying up and down the coast.
Or the ultra-lights cruising low above the channel.
Live music at pubs clubs, restaurants and nightclub.
Country Music Weekend annually, and live music in the park or at the Sails Stage beside the water most weekends.
Farmers Markets on every Saturday morning in Memorial Park.
All just a couple of minutes' walk from your door.

Ashleigh T.

Liked: Location
The best thing about this trip was the unit location and the view. The beds were comfy, and the coffee machine was good.The television didn’t work, the lamps didn’t work, the bunk bed in the second room is very close to the fan so that’s a little bit of an issue for a child for safety.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Feb 2026
Thanks Ashleigh, when I dropped in to check the TV someone had simply knocked the TV aerial cable out of the wall, it just needed to be plugged back in as I said on the phone. Nothing was wrong with the bedside lamps, they are touch lamps, you just needed to touch the silver base and they come on fine. We always welcome a quick phone call on the rare occasion there is an issue and we can generally fix on the spot. Best wishes, Greg

About the host

Hosted by Greg

Host profile image
We love The Entrance, we're like many sydney siders who have holidayed here since we were kids. But The Entrance is not the same as it was, it still has the swimming and fishing, but it has changed so much to become a modern beachiside town with retaurants cafes pubs and clubs, live music and everything we could want in a holiday destination just over an hour form or home in Sydney.
We get a great kick out of our guests enjoying The Entrance as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Parklea 11 is right across from the channel with 180 degree views from the bridge over to North Entrance around to the sea.
Walk across to the calm waters or 200 metres along the boardwalk to the patrolled surf beach.
Head west along the boardwalk to restaurants on the Marina, pub & cafes in the Plaza.
Kiddies play pool, pelican feeding, live music in the park, farmers markets every saturday morning, face painting, fair rides, ferris wheel etc etc make this a fantastic place for kids as well.


What makes this property unique

Our unit is very modern with new glass cooktop, over, dishwasher, fridge and all the cooking facilities you need.
Relax on your balcony to see where the fish are biting, watch the kayaks, windsurfers and kite surfers, watch ultralites fly by overhead. See the sun rise over the sea, or a big golden moon, or if you prefer, fireworks on the major occasions on the water right in front of you.
Check out the pelican feeding every afternoon in the park. Or just watch them from your balcony on the water or settling on the light pole in front of you.
Keep your camera handy, you will get some fabulous shots.
