What was originally booked as a 10 day stay to find my feet in australia, has now turned out to be a 5 weeks and running stay.... Due to a number of things, but mainly because of the atmosphere thats been created here, hard to believe it feels like a 2nd home already, location great, bbqs awesome...more What was originally booked as a 10 day stay to find my feet in australia, has now turned out to be a 5 weeks and running stay....

Pay attention to other reviews that mention skimpy breakfast, poor internet access, not very clean, bad neighborhood, and NOISE. All rooms face a courtyard and anyone returning from a drunk lets everyone know they\'re back. Sheets seemed very old & worn. Good security, but...more Pay attention to other reviews that mention skimpy breakfast, poor internet access, not very clean, bad neighborhood, and NOISE. All rooms face a courtyard and anyone returning from a drunk lets everyone know they\'re back. Sheets seemed very old & worn. Good security, but that\'s the only positive I have to add.close

The atmosphere is pretty good and the people are nice. There is something for everyone there, from surfing to opera. Blue Mountains are good, there is a revolving All You Can Eat Buffet and the harbour jet boat is good craic. We lived on George St. the main street in Sydney, which can be a bit loud, so don't do that ;-) It was quality waking and joggin to the Opera house but to be honest... it's too similar to other large cities - if you're lookin for something different - don't spend too long there. Oh, and God damn cockroaches!close

One of the nicest cities I have been to, Sydney offers so much for everyone. As a tourist there is so much to do and see from the Sydney opera house to bondi and coogee beach. The weather is great pretty much year round.

One of my favourite places was Watson's Bay Doyles seafood restaurant was fab especially on a Sunday with a live Jazz band and some good wine also lovely walk way went to see the Sydney to Hobart New Years Day Boat Race. The Sydney bridge climb was very enjoyable but totally overpriced... Oxford Street clubs are out there and definately worth a visit it will open ur eyes. Bondi Beach is like a Beverly hills movie, Cooggee is much nicer as a beach and much more relaxed. The Randwick races are also a must do....close

Top marks, beautiful city, very clean, good parks and great sights. Sydney Bay is spectacular and Sydneysiders are laid-back and friendly.

I was there in October, the weather was great, not too hot, sunny and dry. Definitely recommended. Don’t miss: Darling Harbour, a very popular area with shops and restaurants with a good view on Downtown Sydney’s skyline; Harbour Bridge, walk across if you get a chance, it’s worth it; The Rocks, where British settlement of Australia started; Sydney Tower, amazing views of the city from the observation deck; The Opera House, the Botanical Gardens and Hyde Park.close

There is so much to do and see in Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Bondi Beach, Manly beach, Sydney Tower, Darling Harbour, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Just walking down beside the Harbour is gorgeous! I would definitely recommend the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb to all ages. It was brilliant! Sydney has everything; I can’t wait to go back!close

Sydney has everything you could want in a city and more! Didnt have enought time to see it all! Highlights included the obvious: Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and shopping! A trip out to Bondi Beach is just so worthwhile. Also highly recommended is a harbour cruise at sunset with great views of the Opera House, the bridge and the suburbs further down the river, plus the food is to die for! Also a walking tour around the city is the best way to get a feel of the place when you first arrive. Also a trip out to Macquarie's chair is great as the view from here is great. For food I'd recommend going to Chinatown, great choice of restaurants, also the food in one of the food courts there is fun and great for a large group as each person can just order where they want and you can still share a table.close

This I think has to be my favourite city in the world. From the amazing beaches - Manly, Bondi, Coogee (the list goes on) to the nightlife - Darling Harbour, Paddington, Bondi, Coogee (good old CBH!) to everything else there is to do such as the bridge climb, dinner in the revolving restaurant or a trip to the aquarium to have some sharks swim above your head, as i said the list goes on! The weather ain't half bad either! If you ever get a chance to take a long haul trip, Sydney is not to be missed!close
