Seeking hidden places in Sydney to discover?
So let’s get straight into it, exposing and exploring the lesser-known Sydney hidden gems, proving that discovering new places can be just as energising as the sun.

Nestled in the heart of Lavender Bay, within sight of Sydney’s world famous most iconic spot, sits Wendy’s Secret Garden – a lush, secluded paradise that somehow remains one of the secret spots in Sydney.
Our technicians find solace here after a day of solar inverter repairs, basking in the garden’s serene atmosphere. It’s a testament to the power of nurturing nature, but you should check it out for yourself to discover the true magic.
2. The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability, Waverton

You know that we’re all about sustainability. Well, just a stone’s throw from the heart of the action in Sydney, The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability is a beacon for eco-friendly practices and local history – and a secret of Sydney you simply have to know about!
This Sydney hidden gem aligns perfectly with our own mission of promoting sustainable living. Visitors can explore a rooftop garden, peruse solar-powered facilities, and at the same time learn about rainwater harvesting – mirroring the principles we apply in the solar energy solutions at your place.
3. Milk Beach, Vaucluse

Head across the bay to Vaucluse, which even Google Maps admits is the “tucked away beach with city vistas” called Milk Beach. What you’ll find there are peaceful, breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour in a much quieter setting than its famous counterparts.
At Solar Repair Sydney, members of our team often escape here to recharge – just like your solar panels do when the Sydney sun is shining brightly. The secluded charm and pristine environment are perfect for those of you looking to enjoy nature’s tranquillity away from the big crowds.
4. The Grounds of Alexandria

Halfway between the industrial mid-point of the CBD and the airport is Alexandria – where you’ll discover a little oasis that doesn’t really belong here. But The Grounds is known, by those in the know, for its beautiful garden, rustic eateries and sustainable practices – including solar-powered lights and composting.
It’s a favourite among our staff for a quiet weekend brunch or a leisurely stroll, embodying the harmony between urban living and green practices.
5. Bare Island, La Perouse

Hankering for one of the hidden things to do in Sydney that’s a little more adventurous? Set sail for Bare Island, which offers a glimpse into the city’s historical defence fort and stunning marine life, making it a perfect spot for snorkelling and exploring.
Our solar electricians just revel in the island’s balance between preserving history and embracing the natural environment.
6. Street Art Walk, St. Peters

Head back to that industrial and dense-residential mid-point between the CBD and the airport, however, and you’ll find the beating heart of Sydney’s vibrant street art scene. There are many better-known spots, but the laneways of St. Peters offer an eclectic mix of murals and graffiti that many are totally unaware of.
It’s a creative and organic hub that triggers inspiration among members of our solar team, highlighting the intersection of innovation and colour.
