Welcome to the Sydney City’s most stylish suburb, Surry Hills. Parking is always scarce in Surry Hills because the neighbourhood is constantly crowded, whether you are going to a trendy restaurant or cafe for a bite to eat or just to work. We’ve rounded up some of the best places to eat, drink, shop, visit and park in Surry Hills.
Eat and drink
Looking for somewhere to have a meal or a drink? You’re spoilt for choice in Surry Hills. It’s one of Sydney’s best-known foodie destinations, with a multitude of restaurants, bars and pubs ranging from ultra-casual to fine dining and covering many different types of cuisine.
The ricotta pancakes at bills on Crown Street are world-famous, making it a must-do for breakfast. Across the road, The Dolphin Hotel dishes up pub fare that’s a cut above in arty surrounds. Firedoor, which featured on Netflix’s Chef’s Table BBQ, is all about wood-fired cooking and serves up one of Sydney’s most sought-after steaks.
Surry Hills is also home to the Sydney outpost of a Melbourne favourite, the loud and buzzy South East Asian eatery Chin Chin. Wherever you decide to eat, start (or finish) your night off right with a drink at the Hotel Hollywood. This old-school, slightly grungy but unpretentious Art Deco pub is a veritable Surry Hills institution.
Coffee
Sydney is a city of coffee aficionados, and some of the city’s best brews can be found in Surry Hills.
Try the popular Single O in Reservoir Street, where they serve filter coffee on tap. Postage-stamp sized Sample Coffee on Devonshire Street might be small, but that doesn’t stop it from turning out a seriously good cup of joe. And at Artificer Specialty Coffee Bar & Roastery, they’re so focused on making the perfect cup of coffee that they don’t sell anything else.
Shopping
Take home your own little piece of Surry Hills cool with a purchase from one of its hip stores. Give your home instant design cred with something from Vampt Vintage Design, a treasure trove of vintage and mid-century furniture, or lose hours browsing the vinyl records, film, and books at specialist bookstore Title.
Visit Shannon Reserve on Crown Street on the first Saturday of the month, and you’ll find the Surry Hills Markets in full swing. They’ve been running since 1981 and are a great place to find vintage, second-hand or recycled fashion, homewares and art.
For the ultimate souvenir, visit one of Surry Hills’ tattoo parlours. Several of Sydney’s best studios are found here, including Little Tokyo, Hibernia and Authentink.
Culture
There are plenty of places to indulge your inner culture vulture in Surry Hills. A visit to the Brett Whiteley Studio on Raper Street is a must. The studio was once Whiteley’s workplace and home, and it has been preserved just as it was when he was alive, right down to the graffiti-covered walls. Or soak in the vintage vibes at the Golden Age Cinema and Bar.
Catch an indie or arthouse film in the basement cinema of the 1940s Paramount Pictures building, or just enjoy an artfully mixed cocktail at the bar. If live action is more your style, the Belvoir Street Theatre (housed in an old tomato sauce factory) is a stalwart of the Sydney theatre scene.
Where to park
Surry Hills is serviced by buses and light rail, but not trains and driving is often the easiest way to get there. Finding parking in Surry Hills in the narrow, one-way streets can be a challenge, but don’t worry – when it comes to parking, we’ve got you covered.
- Feeling organised? Download the DIVVY app from the App Store or Google Play and pre-book your parking in Surry Hills at 359 Crown Street, Centennial Place Tower B & Centennial Place Tower C on Elizabeth Street.
- Heading to Haymarket from Surry Hills? Park with us at 14-18 Lee Street. The easiest approach to score a cheap parking spot is usually to book in advance.
- Looking for casual parking? Don’t waste time Googling ‘parking near me’. DIVVY public parking solution Drive Up makes casual parking a breeze. No need to pre-book – just tap your credit card, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay at the car park entrance, and you’re away. You won’t be charged until you tap your payment method again when you’re leaving. Available 24/7 at Adina Apartment Hotel, 359 Crown Street, Surry Hills (car park entry on Fitzroy Street).
Now offering casual drive up parking and pre-book parking at this location. Located in Braddon only minutes away from the CBD and near light rail.
One location, two car parks with several very different functions – DIVVY’s smart parking management solutions take care of them all.
Client: AMES Australia
Property: 30-32 Prospect Street, Box Hill, Victoria
At 30-32 Prospect Street, in the heart of Box Hill’s up-and-coming business district, is the local branch of Australian training and settlement agency, AMES Australia. The building is also home to the Inner Eastern Melbourne branch of The Orange Door, a government-backed network that provides help for people experiencing family violence. DIVVY manages two car parks at Prospect Street – one for each group.
Getting the most out of a multipurpose car park
The AMES Australia Box Hill car park plays two roles – to provide parking for AMES Australia staff and fleet vehicles as well as paid public parking. When DIVVY took over the management of the car park in February 2023, the first step was to install boom gates.
The previous parking operator had been running a ‘pay and display’ public parking system in the car park, which was difficult to manage effectively in such a busy area where parking is hard to come by.
How to manage staff parking plus pre-booked and casual public parking in the same car park
Now, AMES Australia enjoys ultimate flexibility when it comes to their staff and fleet parking, thanks to the DIVVY staff parking management solution. AMES Australia groups its employees for parking purposes, allowing them to manage different levels of parking access quickly and easily. Members of one group book and pay for their onsite parking via the DIVVY app, while fleet cars have permanent parking access.
At the same time, DIVVY has made the management of the paid public parking at 30-32 Prospect Street more efficient and effective. Drivers can pre-book their parking via the DIVVY app or website, or they can take advantage of DIVVY’s Drive Up casual parking system.
Thanks to DIVVY’s push button technology, AMES Australia staff and pre-booked public parkers enjoy a ‘windows up’ parking experience. When drivers with a parking booking approach the car park entrance, they only need to tap a button in the DIVVY app on their phone to open the boom gate and enter the car park. Geolocation technology limits the push button function to drivers with a booking, and only when the driver is within close range of the car park.
Drivers without a booking can park at 30-32 Prospect Street with DIVVY’s Drive Up. They just tap their credit card, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay at the boom gate to gain entry. When it’s time to leave, another tap with the same payment method at the car park exit opens the boom gate, and they’re on their way. 30-32 Prospect Street is the first car park in Victoria to feature DIVVY’s Drive Up.
Convenient public parking in bustling Box Hill
Set just behind Box Hill’s main thoroughfare, Whitehorse Road, AMES Australia’s car park is perfectly positioned for employees from local workplaces, commuters catching the train from Box Hill Station, visitors and employees of Box Hill Central shopping centre, Box Hill Hospital or Epworth Eastern Hospital, and students and staff from the Box Hill Institute. It’s also an excellent overnight parking option for residents of local apartment buildings, given the lack of street parking in the area.
Putting safety and security at the forefront
Family support and safety hub The Orange Door also has a car park at 30-32 Prospect Street. In contrast to AMES Australia’s public car park, this car park is used only by The Orange Door’s staff and clients. Given the sensitive nature of the important work The Orange Door does, safety and privacy are paramount.
The Orange Door uses DIVVY’s Premium Pass Parking feature to ensure that only their staff and authorised visitors – and no one else – can access parking in their car park.
The Orange Door’s staff and visitors book their parking space via the DIVVY app or website, but the Premium Pass Parking feature means that they are the only ones who can do so because the parking is only visible and bookable for The Orange Door’s authorised clients.
This functionality allows The Orange Door to manage staff and visitor parking conveniently and efficiently while upholding the privacy and security levels their business and visitors need.
Clayton Abraham, Senior Facilities Manager for AMES Australia, says,
“The old pay-and-display parking system just wasn’t working for us in our Prospect Street car park. DIVVY’s versatile system, which offers both pre-booked and casual parking, gives us the flexibility we need in our car park while still ensuring parkers are paying correctly for their parking and not overstaying the time they’ve paid for. Meanwhile, the adaptability of the DIVVY staff parking management product allows our tenants, The Orange Door, to manage their client and visitor parking safely, securely, and easily.”

32 Prospect Street, Box Hill VIC
Now offering casual drive up parking at AMES Australia, 30-32 Prospect Street, Box Hill VIC. The car park is positioned in the heart of Box Hill Central and famed CBD.
When Sandran Property Group needed a smart, streamlined building access system tailored to meet the needs of their security-conscious blue chip tenant, they approached DIVVY for a solution.
Client: Sandran Property Group
Property: 121-125 Henry Street, Penrith, NSW
Sandran Property Group owns 121-125 Henry Street, an A-grade commercial office building in the heart of Penrith’s rapidly gentrifying CBD. The building, which underwent a $35 million refurbishment in 2017, is home to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, as well as other premium tenants.
DIVVY has worked with Sandran at 121-125 Henry Street since 2018, providing simple and secure staff parking management. So when Sandran’s tenant, the ATO, requested a comprehensive, highly secure building access system, Sandran turned to DIVVY for the answer.
An inefficient and outdated building access system
Building access was once a piecemeal, disconnected affair at 121-125 Henry Street.
Employee access to the underground car park was successfully managed by DIVVY’s staff parking management system. But staff had to use a swipe card to access the ground floor from the car park. They then had to use a second swipe card to enter their office.
The ATO needed a smart, streamlined office access solution that took parkers all the way from the car park entrance to their desk. But, given the sensitive nature of the ATO’s work, any access control system needed to meet the ATO’s high-level, specialised security parameters.
The DIVVY solution
At the ATO’s request, DIVVY stepped in to provide the solution. Sandran Property Group gave the green light to install DIVVY’s Sammy access device in the lift foyer and integrate the DIVVY bookable assets system with the existing Schindler lift system. Now, office access for ATO staff is a breeze.
All they need to access their workplace is one DIVVY QR code. That code allows them to enter and exit the car park as well as call the lift to take them to the level on which they work. The DIVVY system gives building management complete oversight across who has entered the building via the car park, what time they entered, and which building levels they have accessed. The days of staff and management juggling several swipe card systems are long gone.
Eugene Chiew, Senior Property Manager at Sandran Property Group, says, “As a property manager, ensuring my tenants’ needs are met is my highest priority. Here at 121-125 Henry Street, we needed a building access system that would be smooth and easy for staff to use and management to run, while also meeting the high-level security requirements of our major tenant, the ATO.
The DIVVY system has done exactly that – simplified and streamlined building access at the same time as satisfying the ATO’s specific access security protocols. Having worked with DIVVY on staff parking management in my previous role at Knight Frank, I was confident they would deliver here at 121-125 Henry Street, and they did.”
What’s next for 121-125 Henry Street?
Car park access will soon be even simpler for staff at 121-125 Henry Street with the imminent installation of DIVVY’s push button technology. This will enable a ‘windows up’ parking experience for staff entering and exiting the car park. DIVVY’s push button technology opens car park entry and exit gates when authorised parkers touch a button in the DIVVY app on their phone. Geo-location technology ensures that access is limited to permitted parkers and only when they are within close range of the car park.
As the needs of commercial tenants become more specialised and individualised, demand for smart, connected access solutions that can be customised to meet a tenant’s requirements will only continue to grow.
