More about hotels in Canterbury
Canterbury sits around 10.5km south-west of Sydney's CBD, in the Canterbury-Bankstown local government area, split by the Cooks River. It's a residential, multicultural pocket of Sydney rather than a tourist strip — better thought of as a quiet, well-connected base than a sightseeing destination in its own right.
What's nearby in Canterbury
- Cooks River and cycleway: a green corridor through the suburb, good for a walk, run or bike ride.
- Canterbury Park Racecourse: a working racecourse that's hosted meets since 1852.
- Beamish Street, Campsie: one of Sydney's best-known Korean and Vietnamese food strips, a short trip from central Canterbury.

Getting around from Canterbury
A car isn't essential — Canterbury Station sits on the T3 Bankstown Line with a direct run into the CBD, and buses cover the local suburbs — but a car makes it easier to reach the M5 and destinations further out.
