Family of 4 moving from Canada to Sydney - Advice?

Hi all,

My family is moving to Sydney in August and we have two young kids (2yo & 4yo).
Just looking for advice on if relocation consultants are worth the money as well as the best neighbourhoods for family (daycare, schooling) with a beach.  We've been looking at Manley and Bondi but wanted to hear from people who have experience.

Looking forward to making the jump and growing in the community.

Take care!

Hi! We (family with two kids, 3 and 6) are leaving Manly, Sydney after 2 wonderful years.

I think, Manly is the better option for a family than Bondi.

If you are interested, our house is available for rent from mid/end of July 2011. It is a beautiful, modern 3-4 bedroom house, close to school, shops, Manly Beach, wharf. Just the perfect location. There are many young families living here. The rent is $1800 per week. let me know if you are interested!

Hello Bonnie and welcome to Expat.com!

You should post an advert in the Sydney classifieds > accommodation section/house for rent.

Thank you,
Harmonie.

Manly definitely will be better choice for you. But the Bondi junction is the center point for transportation by train. So if you are to work in Sydney then you'll definitely have to live in Bondi.
