Abbotsford

Great North Road hosts three distinct business districts: Abbotsford, Wareemba and Five Dock. The smallest business area is Abbotsford but small in size does not reflect the stature of the resident businesses.
Abbotsford's strength lies in its restaurants. There are three gourmet restaurants in Abbotsford – the award winning Dedes at The Sydney Rowing Club, Abbotsford Chinese restaurant and the more recent addition of Café Pavillion.
Its shopping centre offers no nonsense convenience. The impression Abbotsford leaves you with is that the locals love this place. It is friendly and effective at providing what you need.
The historic Sydney Rowing Club is one of the oldest businesses in the City of Canada Bay, with over 130 years of service on this site. In 1996 it became the home of award winning restaurant Dedes where diners can enjoy the sweeping views of the Parramatta River and feast on fine wine and food. The club also boasts a boat mooring shuttle service, a ferry wharf, bus route and car park. Its neighbour the Abbotsford Boat Shed is also over 100 years old and offers an extensive range of marine services and leisure boat hire.
Further along Great North Road in Abbotsford is the relatively new Café Pavilion. Created from the heritage listed Dulux recreation centre, this eatery offers a fusion of old and new styles to create an oasis of peace, perfect for breakfast or lunch. The blend of modern classics and heritage style is a must see for anyone with a love of restoration and renovation.
Come by car, ferry, bus, bicycle or walk.
