Sydney Rd Hornsby Heights
Dec 07 2021
this website calls the street (Sydney Street, Hornsby) but its' actually Sydney Road in Hornsby Heights. Many family's get heavily into the Christmas spirit there and it's so colorful and bright. some other the houses put up a 40 meter tunnel of lights for the kids to run through. Check them out.

6 Tilbury St, Stanhope Gardens had no lights up Add 7 Mallee Street, Quakers Hill to the list. It’s the best we have ever seen by far. People seemed to spend a lot of time there because of how much there was to see, and do. The couple who live there spent 2-months putting everything up which included but was not limited to, a water fountain feature, reindeer and sleigh for families to sit in while getting photos, a massive Santa’s workshop display, fake snow shooting from the roof, and heaps to look at and explore around the garden. This is our top recommendation

Don’t waste your time at Rosalie crs Greenacre. Crappy displays and only 3 out of 12 houses have lights. There is also a grumpy man that will tell you off. Stay away is my recommendation

We'd like to throw our hat in the ring for some beautiful Christmas lights set on the State Heritage listed building in Randwick, The Lurline (211 Avoca St, Randwick). Some of the lights outside the building flash when a booking is made, as a percentage of each direct booking this December is going to the Light Up Xmas Appeal, supporting the Sydney Children's Hospital. The flashing lights signify the donation. Every booking in this difficult year has been vitally important in keeping our doors open and our staff employed. We'd like to give back this December, and thank the families who trust us to take care of them when they visit - often less than fortunate circumstances. We hope the lights bring joy to the community in what has been a tough year for many.

Hector Court is definitely worth stopping at, and I mean stop. Get out and check out the window at number 10 with a Christmas village with heaps of things to try and find. Be warned you may be there awhile! But not just the window there are great lights over 4 houses all in one place, look for the 10 metre Christmas’s tree!

If you're in the Blue Mountains there are a few places that decorate in Mt Victoria, Blackhealth etc. But the cream of the crop is (and has been for over 15 years) "1 Scott Ave Leura". Their efforts delight mountains residents every year.
