We stayed in the harbour view loft. Check-in was relatively straight forward. Apart from the view the room and amenity are very average. Probably an equivalent of a 2.5-3 star hotel. Don’t expect too much for breakfast, just toast and jam, milk and fruits. A nice weekend away though.

From arrival to check out, nothing was a problem for the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and the inclusion of breakfast was so good. The location of the hotel is picture perfect with the waters edge only a hop, skip and jump, access to fabulous walks and the ferry to Circular Quay on your doorstep. One of the best staycations we've had. Oh... and the rooms, stunning!
