City of Sydney

If you don't have much time then the city is your best option as this is the easiest to get to and from.

Manly

My choice would be Manly as this gives you the perfect excuse to spend alot of time on the Manly ferry. I've been on the ferry countless times and have yet to get bored with the views.

Sydney Harbour

In a similar vein look for accommodation by the harbour with a ferry wharf nearby. Examples such Balmain, North Sydney, Mosman and Rose Bay are all good places to be based. Just make sure you memorise your ferry timetable or have a copy with you.

City Fringe

A good way to save a few dollars just remember to factor in the additional cost of transport, particularly if its likely to be taxis.

Eastern Suburbs

Bondi Beach is there to be seen but traffic in and out from the beach front can be a nightmare. Bondi Junction is a better option and has a train link.

Northern Beaches

God's country. Distance might be an issue. No trains is another. Second trip location.

Western Suburbs

History and nearer to Blue Mountains. You will miss out on Sydney Harbour.

North Shore

Lower North Shore is fine - upper North Shore is very pleasant. Train Link can be problematic and Pacific Highway is colourful in a red, amber and green kinda way.
