As part of our new Feels Like Home property feature we'll be taking a look inside some of the city's premier properties.
We'll leave you this morning with a glimpse of "The Elms" in the Wentworth Estate, a stunning 70-square residence.
With its multitutude of bedrooms and bathrooms, professionally turfed tennis courts, saltwater pool, immaculate gardens and spectacular views across to the Great Dividing Range, you have to remind yourself it is a private home and not a hotel.
Enjoy your weekend!

There's nothing like watching a good movie on a lazy Sunday - and it's even better if it's for a good cause.
Well, the local Riding for the Disabled group is, by popular demand, bringing back a special charity screening of The Man From Coxs River.
It will be shown at Metro Cinemas on Sunday from 2pm.
Funds raised on Sunday will help Bathurst RDA run its horse riding and pet therapy programs that enrich the lives of more than 60 children and adults with disabilities in the Bathurst area.

It seems things that go hum in the night are disturbing the peace in the hills to the east of Lithgow.
Lithgow Council is investigating complaints that ultra low frequency emissions from an unconfirmed source are reason for concern.
According to the complaints, the hum is invasive and is having an impact on both health and lifestyle.
A resident from Mount Irvine recently addressed council to outline his concerns.
Ron Lyons said the intrusion was so bad that when he wants any peace he has to "get in the car and drive until I can't hear it any more".

Now's your chance to nominate someone for Bathurst Art Council’s ‘Bathurst People in Time: A Peoplescape’ project that will see 200 life size cut-outs of people significant to Bathurst created and displayed during bicentenary celebrations in May 2015.
Think of someone who has been significant in shaping Bathurst into the community it is today. They may be famous or unknown, they may be alive or have lived at another time.
Ideally they have lived in Bathurst and district at some stage in their life or have made a very significant contribution to Bathurst.
