Rose Bay answers before you book.

Check your property listing for exact proximity to shops and transit.
You may not need a car if you plan to stay local and use buses, ferries, or rideshare for trips into Sydney. A car can be useful if you’re exploring multiple eastern suburbs or traveling with luggage, but parking can be limited depending on the property. Review the listing for parking availability before you book.
