Malabar, NSW 2036

The secret is out. Malabar is a great place to live with a relaxed community feel. The prices now seem to reflect the fact that its no longer a secret.

The place is just right so please leave it the way you find it.

Malabar is nestled in a corner between the parklands south of Maroubra, the pacific, Randwick Golf Course and Little Bay. It's tucked away behind Long Bay jail, which has all it's entries and exits facing away from Malabar. The suburb is quiet and friendly with far fewer units than the rest of the eastern suburbs. The houses tend to have greener gardens and the streets are a little leafier than the surrounding suburbs. The Beach Cafe' , the Light-hearted Cafe' and Nostimo's are all great cafe's for breakfasts or lunch. There are good walkways to get around and limited but adequate buses into the city. Cyclists come through the neighborhood often on their way to La Perouse. Bay Parade is a great weekend walk, and you can end off at the golf course for a cold beer. It's really a small town inside of Sydney.

One of the last of Sydney's fabulous beachside suburbs to retain it's originality. Village feel yet moments away from everything.

Within 5 min's of Malabar you have access to: Snorkling, Surfing, A boat ramp, ocean rock pool, golf courses, schools, churches, cafes, children's play ground, rifle range, horse riding school, RSL Club, bushwalking, fishing, gyms, shopping, restaurants.....the list goes on!

A wonderful family suburb, fast becoming a very highly regarded locale.
