| The staff were very helpful when we had to cut our stay short due to my father in laws illness which meant we had to book flights back to Uk at short notive, so thanks for that. | ||

| GREAT location, just steps from the entrance to the Sydney harbour Bridge and a short walk to the Opera House. There's also a free shuttle just blocks away that can bring you all around town. If you forget a towel like I did, I recommend taking the shuttle down George St to the Woolworth's - $6 instead of the tourist beach towel for $18 | ||
