Nestled into a quiet residential street mere paces from Potts Point’s vivid cosmopolitan culture, IDA sits within one of Sydney's most stylish and desirable Inner East suburbs.

Celebrated eateries, Manhattan-style bars and terrace cafés beckon alongside stylish boutiques, grocers and delis. And the city and harbour’s leafy charms are never more than a stroll away.

Royal Botanic Gardens

For a burst of nature stroll down to the Royal Botanic Gardens and catch your breath amidst its 30-hectare expanse of lush grass, botanic treasures and ponds that wraps around the harbour down to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair and the Sydney Opera House.
