Sydney accommodation

Just like the city itself, Sydney’s accommodation options are limitless. You can stay at a luxe hotel where the sheet thread count matches the room price, a family-friendly apartment in the CBD where the kids can eat their cereal with a view, or a beachside hostel with travellers from all over the globe. You can even bunk down on an island right in the middle of the harbour.
