Jacaranda season is one of Sydney’s most enchanting times, as the city bursts into vibrant purple blooms.

Mary MacKillop Place is lucky enough to be situated right in the heart of some of the most beautiful spots to surround yourself with these stunning trees. Nestled in the heart of North Sydney, you will be just a short walk from some of the city’s best jacaranda spots. We’ve created a map to guide you to the most beautiful locations; including the iconic blooms at the front of our chapel.

While you are exploring, make sure you take a moment to grab a coffee and sit amongst the peaceful grounds of Mary MacKillop Place which is scattered with beautiful gardens and flowers during this season too.

If you want to fully immerse yourself, why not book a stay in our on-site accommodation and enjoy the jacarandas up close, with the comfort of a peaceful home away from home? If not this year, lock in a place for 2026 season. Book in here.
