Look for the large distinctive brick building on your left as you drive along Brooklyn Road.

From Sydney, drive north on the F3 freeway from Hornsby towards Newcastle until you cross the Hawkesbury River bridge. Immediately past the bridge turn left into the Mooney Mooney and Brooklyn exit then turn right onto the Old Pacific Highway. Cross the old Hawkesbury River bridge then take second turn left into Brooklyn Road. Brooklyn Old Convent Apartments and Marina is 1.5 kms on the LHS between two large marinas and is well signposted.

If you want to take the scenic route, the Old Pacific Highway goes right past the turn-off to Brooklyn which is on the Sydney side of the Hawkesbury River Bridge.

Catch the Sydney-Gosford-Newcastle train to Hawkesbury River railway station.

The walk from the railway station to Brooklyn Old Convent is a pleasant and easy 2km stroll that will take you past parks and the mangroves alongside the river. A great way to start is with refreshments at the Brooklyn village, then take in the unique character of Brooklyn as you stroll to our facility.

There is also local bus service shorelink no 592 that runs at various times. Go to  www.shorelink.com.au

Brooklyn Old Convent Apartment and Marina is on the south shore of Sandbrook Inlet which in turn is on the south side of Long Island. Navigate the lower Hawkesbury until just downriver from the F3 Motorway Bridge then turn south around the top of Long Island then east into Sandbrook Inlet. You will see several large marinas running along the south side of the inlet. Brooklyn on Hawkesbury is immediately recognisable as the large brick complex between two of the larger marinas.

The great northern walking trail passes through Brooklyn.
