The QVB has its own parking station and is close to the Pitt St Monorail Station and mid way between Museum and St James Stations or get off at Town Hall Station. We are a stones throw from Darling Harbour

Any trip to the City will not be complete without a visit to the QVB and all it has to offer. Now with Hobbyco as an anchor tenant there is added reason to visit the QVB. It is well catered with restaurants, cafes and amenities as well as other shops such as the ABC Store directly below us. On the top levels we are away from all the hustle and bustle below. So come on in and explore. You will enjoy the experience.

LEVEL 2 is the main access to Hobbyco with Model Rail, Thomas & Friends, Wooden Ship Kits, Plastic kits, Games, Puzzles, Craft, Dollshouse Miniatures, Tools and Accessories.

Hobbyco's first suburban shop is Located at a new Shpping centre at Rhodes which is close to the demographic centre of Sydney. We chose this location for its central location and ease of access by rail and road. This is a "pocket" Hobbyco having all the essential and familiar ingredients of our flagship shop in the city but obviously not able to carry the breadth of range of the City store.

Rhodes Shopping Centre is home for IKEA's largest store in Australia and as such is a major retail attraction bringing customers from all over Sydney. The Centre includes other major retailers and an 8 Reading Cinema complex. (4 hours free parking for all cinema patrons!)Simply present your ticket stub when you exit the carpark to receive 4 hours free parking  So besides Hobbyco there are lots of good reasons to come to rhodes.
