Kalinya Street, Newport, NSW 2106

Kalinya Street is a short, waterfront road nestled between Gladstone and Beaconsfield streets. Despite the apparent waterfront ‘address’ there are few properties, and no houses, on the Pittwater side of the road.
This is because the majority of land on that side is taken up with; Dearin Reserve – a fairly small leash free dog park – right down on to the water (which never appears to be busy); the Newport Mirage – a midsized hotel which I believe is popular for functions; and most importantly, The Newport Arms – a pub with huge outdoor areas overlooking Pittwater, many restaurant sections, several playground areas, and a large outdoor screen (mostly showing sports).

The Terrace Restaurant – the ‘posh nosh’ part of The Arms, has been known to serve very lovely food, with a fine view. Unfortunately, the quality has been somewhat erratic over the years.

Opposite The Arms is a small shopping precinct including a butcher, a Thai restaurant, a Post Office/General Store, and a very good pharmacy. There is also a nearby Italian Restaurant, a service station, and a preschool.

Buses come right by this area of Newport, but it is otherwise off the main through routes.

There is a waterfront apartment block siding on to Dearin Reserve, and opposite that are the Kalinya Apartments – which are more like duplexes or town houses and rather flash looking. Great area for everyone.
