Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

This is a long walk and covers a lot of different terrain including bush trails, boardwalks and roads. It includes stunning views, secluded beaches and sandy bays. Altogether, it covers about 8km and whilst google maps tells me it can be done in 1.5 hours, this is not a realistic time frame. There are so many tempting stops along the way that you should allow 3 - 4 hours.
For tourists, one of the best things about this walk is that Sydney Ferries run between Circular Quay, Rose Bay and Watsons Bay so, at the end of your walk, you can catch a ferry back from Watsons Bay - a perfect way to finish.
I think of this walk as having 4 quite different sections. They are:
1. ROSE BAY
The first section starting from Rose Bay is about 2km and is the least interesting. It includes Lyne Park and Rose Bay Beach, then it’s uphill along New South Head Rd. Turn left into Bayview Hill Rd and walk right to the end, where you’ll find the start of the Hermitage Foreshore Track. This section is mostly urban streets and pavement and will take about 30 minutes. Hang in there because the next section is amazing.
2. HERMITAGE TRACK & NIELSEN PARK
The Hermitage Trail is about 1.8km of walking mainly along the foreshore. It’s the highlight of the walk and includes panoramic harbour views, secluded beaches, sandy bays and historic sites. The trail is a mixture of bushland paths and boardwalks and is well sign-posted. It finishes at Nielsen Park where you’ll find a very popular swimming beach as well as a kiosk, clean toilets, changing rooms.
3. PARSLEY BAY
The next section, to Parsley Bay, is mostly along residential streets. There is little to no signage and you are essentially left to your own devices to find your way. Without google maps, you would struggle. In particular, it is hard to find the right road to the Parsley Bay bridge. Keep an eye out for the path off Fitzwilliam Rd, next to 43a. We missed it and instead ended up at the back of Parsley Bay Reserve. Whilst we could easily pick up the track again, it was a shame to miss the bridge and if you have kids, crossing the suspension bridge is part of the fun.
Disappointingly, we also missed the waterfall. Apparently there is a short bushland circuit by the bridge that leads you there but again signage was not clear.
4. WATSON’S BAY
The final section is largely back on roads again but we cut down through Gibson's Beach Reserve so that we could walk along the waterfront and past the Baths. Watson's Bay is a great destination. Obviously the walk can be started at either end but we really enjoyed finishing with lunch at Watsons Bay. There were several cafes, a pub and the famous Doyles Restaurant. We had fish and chips from the Doyles take-away shop on the wharf and we sat at the edge of the park, overlooking the bay. Before leaving, make sure to walk up to the ocean clifftops to see The Gap, a stunning lookout point.
NOTES:
i) Overall, the walk involves a fair amount of time walking along residential streets, albeit attractive ones. If you are time-poor, a very good option is to do just the Hermitage Trail and plan a separate ferry trip to Watsons Bay (or Manly Beach) for another day.
ii) The inadequate sign-posting really lets the walk down. Whilst it is OK for locals, it’s unhelpful for tourists who are on unfamiliar territory.
iii) Once you leave Rose Bay, there are no facilities or shops until you get to Nielsen Park. If you’re desperate, there’s a porta-loo at Strickland House.
iv) Depending on time, there are a number of really interesting diversions, that you could include in your plan for the day. These include historic Vaucluse House, Camp Cove Beach and the South Head Heritage Trail and Lighthouse. We headed for Camp Cove Beach for a swim which was wonderful.

Do this walk it’s 3,5 km and you see the best of opera house the bridge and the city from many parts. You walk close to water and after the walk or during you can take a swin in the beaches. The shark bay at Nelson park is nice. They have a nice cafe and they serves fish of the day and coffe and salad.That is a good start on a perfect day and very good lunch!

What a spectacular place to walk and see the beauty Sydney has to offer away from
The city. Breathtaking views with lots of friendly faces and places to stop and rest and admire the view. Definitely worth doing if you are on that side of Sydney and up for an adventure

We caught the ferry to Rose bay and then walked to watsons bay. Its best if you have your phone so you can use google maps to guide you through the streets as there arent any signs. The views of the harbour are very good and you also walk past a number of beaches which are good for swimming. You also walk through 'Hermitage Reserve' and 'Nielsen Park' which is mostly untouched by urban development and has lots of native plants. It gives you an idea of what the area surrounding the harbour used to be like and is the best section to walk through. You also walk along some streets that have some very nice houses which are also interesting. There are public toilets at the bigger beaches and cafes to grab a coffee as well.

Stunning walk but not well signposted and of course as the wealthy snobs of Sydney build more beachside housing you have less and less access to the beach itself. As they say life’s a beach!

Enjoyable and easy walk. Crosses a couple of beaches. Took us about 1.5 hours. Great views of Sydney and the coast most of the way although you do need to go inland a few times on residential streets. This is not a hardship, however, as there are some stunning homes to ogle. Worth stoppong to visit Vaucluse House on the way through. Regular transport at either end by bus or ferry.

Lovely scenery, beautiful coastline. Mostly boardwalk but cuts inland for a while as you get nearer to Watsons Bay. Equally good walked the other way. Great views across the harbour with the bridge in the distance.
