Is Kirribilli or Milsons Point a good Sydney base with a young child?

Plan the zoo as its own outing and use a ferry when the timetable suits you. Keep a supermarket and an easy dinner option near the room so your evenings stay flexible.

For a brief first visit, the CBD may offer more serviced-apartment choice and fewer crossings for south-side sights. Compare door-to-door trips rather than just the nightly rate.

Both areas can work if the apartment is genuinely close to a station or ferry and has the bed setup you need. Check the actual walking route with a pram; short harbour-side distances can include hills.
