When is the best time to go to St Ives?

The best time to visit St Ives, New South Wales, is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months. These seasons offer pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C, with less humidity than the summer and fewer rainy days than the winter. This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities like bushwalking in the nearby Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park or exploring the local parks and reserves. Couples looking for a relaxed getaway will appreciate the mild weather for leisurely strolls through the St Ives Village Green or enjoying a coffee at one of the local cafes without the summer crowds. The comfortable climate also makes it superb for visiting the nearby beaches without the peak season bustle. Families will find these times particularly good for outdoor adventures. The cooler temperatures are suitable for exploring the bushland trails, and the less crowded attractions mean a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Top St Ives Hotel Reviews

ibis Styles Sydney Central

8/10 Good

"Clean hotel with great staff, bar and good central city location 5 min walk from Museum station and Hyde Park"

W Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment my partner and I walked into the foyer, we were greeted with a pleasant and relaxing scent (likely diffusers), before being warmly greeted by staff, and directed for check-in. Sara made check-in quick and easy, pointing out the rooftop pool/bar on Level29, and opening/closing times for the buffet breakfast on Level3 for the following morning. The rooftop bar is a quiet closed-in space that backs onto the roof top pool, which overlooks darling harbour. The food and drink service here was nothing short of amazing! The Harbourview room itself was quiet, with soft closing doors, mood lighting, and one of the best views of darling harbour. We opted for a late night in-room snack, which again, hit every expectation! Credit to the kitchen and service staff. The buffet breakfast catered to every dietary requirement one would expect, with gluten free options, coffee/crepes/omelette to order, and hot/cold foods for any type of breakfast to suit your mood/lifestyle. The only thing we thought indifferent about, was the dark walled hallways and lobby areas. Otherwise, this hotel was a win. The location made everything central, with public transport a short 10min walk away."
