How to get to Mona Vale, and then to the Metro Mirage (if staying there).
Directions from Sydney Airport to Mona Vale
1. Catching the Train from Sydney Airport:
- Locate the Train Station: From the arrivals area of terminal, follow the signs to the ‘Trains’ which will lead you to the Airport Link train station.
- Buy an Opal Card or just use your credit card to tap-on: If you don’t already have an Opal card (Sydney’s public transport card), you can either purchase one, or you can use your credit card to tap-on at the station instead.
- Board the Train: Take a train on the T8 Airport & South Line towards the city. Ensure the train goes to Wynyard Station.
2. Transitioning at Wynyard Station:
- Exit the Train Platform via Exit 1 (Wynyard Park): Once you arrive at Wynyard Station, follow the signs to the “Exit 1 – Wynyard Park”. You will also see it is the exit to the Buses.
- Locate the B-Line Bus Stop (Stand B) on Carrington St: Once you’ve exited the station, look for signs or ask staff for directions to the B-Line bus stop which is Stand B. The B-Line bus stop is on Carrington Street, just outside the station and slightly to the right.
3. Taking the B-Line Bus to Mona Vale (and Dragon Tao Kung Fu):
- Board the B-Line Bus: When you reach the B-Line bus stop (Stand B) on Carrington Street, wait for the B1 bus that’s heading towards Mona Vale (they come every 5-10 minutes). The B-Line buses are distinctive yellow double deckers, making them easy to spot. Once again you can tap-on with your Opal Card or Credit Card.
- Disembark at Mona Vale: Mona Vale will be last stop on the B-Line route, so it’s impossible to miss. Once you’ve arrived at Mona Vale, disembark the bus (don’t forget to tap-off with the same card).
- If you wish to go to the Metro Mirage Hotel follow the steps below, otherwise here is the map for taking a short walk to Dragon Tao Kung Fu.
From Mona Vale B-line Bus Stop to Metro Mirage Hotel, Newport
- Catch the 199 Bus From the Same Bus Stop: After getting off the B-line bus at Mona Vale just wait for the 199 bus (they come every 10 minutes or so) as it goes from Mona Vale to Newport.
- Board the Bus: When your bus arrives, board the bus heading towards Newport. If unsure, it’s always a good idea to confirm with the driver that the bus will stop near the Metro Mirage Hotel in Newport.
- Disembark at Newport: The bus will travel through a few streets before reaching the stop near the Metro Mirage. It is a fairly short trip so keep an eye out for a pub called The Newport, as the bus stop is out the front. The stop is on Kalinya St. See map below for the Bus Route.
- Walking to Metro Mirage Hotel: Once you disembark the bus, it’s a very short walk to the Metro Mirage Hotel to the right of The Newport Pub. Also see map below.
(Note: As always, it’s a good idea to consult the latest bus schedules, use a local transportation app, or ask locals for guidance. Public transport routes and times can change.)
