Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Sydney Olympic Park Half House - All Yours is set in Sydney. The property features garden and quiet street views, and is 2.5 km from Sydney Showground. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.8 km from Bicentennial Park.

The property was very easy to find and close to the train station and the bus stop and was only minutes away via bus from the accor stadium which was a bonus for us as we were able to rest and relax before the concert. Me and my sis in law were welcomed with a nice welcome card and complimentary food and drinks which we thought was very nice. The property was very clean and organised, to be honest better than some hotels I have stayed at. My previous booking got cancelled last minute and this popped up a few days later and booked it straight away, so happy I was able to find this property as this property was perfect. We also arrived early and contacted the owner a couple of times and was very happy with her quick response, we were also able to check in early. Thank you so much Chris for everything. We had the best time and we will definitely come back.

Offering free Wi-Fi, Cremorne Point Manor is located in the lower North Shore of Sydney. It offers air-conditioned rooms with a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator. Some rooms offer a spa bath or a hot tub.

Nice quiet location, and only a 2 minute walk to the 8 minute ferry ride to the Circular Quay (next to Sydney Opera House) where you can switch over to other ferries, buses, trains etc. Even though we had to pay extra for Continental Breakfast, it was worth it. Nearby was a nice walking trail and Cremorne Reserve. Great property if you want to enjoy big city, but not stay in a noisy area.
