Top South Head Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely helpful and accommodating staff. After 20+ hrs of traveling, we arrived well before check-in. Nevertheless they helped us get into our room early and I can’t tell you how thankful I am for that. The room itself was compact but the bed was large and luxurious. Paired with a soaking tub, it was exactly what we needed. The location next to Circular Quay is exceptional, If you come on a weekend, don’t miss the pop-up market at the Rocks. The food and craft goods were top notch. Stop by Grana nearby for fresh pasta."

Stoke Beach House - Hostel

8/10 Good

"I don’t mind the property, but what would I change breakfast at 7 AM would work better and also add shampoo and conditioner to every shower because now my hair is greasy and I don’t have the budget to buy more."

Stay at Hotel Steyne

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay. Perfect location."

Elysium Manly

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff. Top notch service. Incredible ocean view and proximity to beach. Lots available within walking distance including short ferry to Sydney. Left my car secured in underground lot for entire stay."

Mosman Luxury Studio

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here. The communcation with Wayne was excellent and he was always ready to help. It is just a short walk to the ferry, which is a nice way to start the day. We enjoyed the feeling of having lived for a week in Mosman, rather than just beig a tourist. Great facilities in the apartment. The cafe at the wharf has some tasty food, just be aware that there isn't a supermarket for quick supplies just around the corner, although you can take a bus into Mosman shops. Overall, highly recommended! Thanks, Wayne :)"

Stay At Ivanhoe Apartments Manly Beach

8/10 Good

"The signage directing people to the bar to get the keys is easy to miss on the street and would be worthwhile making a statement to that effect on the booking information re key pick up."

Wildlife Retreat at Taronga

10/10 Excellent

"Nice staffs and hotel. But just too expensive to stay"

Manly Paradise Motel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"Hggg egg gift chug gnu ugh my dry it HC hi if s CB hy u do my if go gg oh if ch ur entity"

Roar and Snore at Taronga Zoo Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"We had a terrific time even though it hailed just before our tour. Luckily it stopped and we were still able to see plenty of animals. The staff are passionate about the animals and the talks are very entertaining and interesting. It rained at the end of the tour but the tents were dry and the amenities are not far away. We heard the lions roar during the night! We woke up to the birds singing and the stunning harbour view. I could not fault it and it feels good knowing that some of the money goes to animal conservation."
