Stay247.com has a wide range of Sydney accommodation whether it is for business, pleasure or visiting friends and family.
Bursting with character, Sydney is a vibrant city catering to all your desires whether you seek exhilaration and exploration or 100% relaxation. Discover Sydneys unique blend of dining, shopping and recreation options which, combined with the many attractions on offer, make Sydney one of the worlds most attractive city environments.
The personality of Sydneys dining scene is as distinctive as the city itself, reflecting its multicultural diversity and willingness to embrace new things. Find a fresh approach to flavour combinations at numerous gourmet restaurants, many of which are on the harbour and enjoy outstanding views. While high-end dining experiences are plentiful, cafe society thrives in Sydney's inner precincts and beaches. Paddington and Balmain have flourishing pub/dining scenes and quality food is also on offer at historic pubs in The Rocks. Why not indulge yourself in the ultimate dining experience on Sydney Harbour? You'll be entertained by sophisticated lounge entertainment & treated to white glove service as you enjoy a 7 course degustation menu.
Sydneys shopping offers everything your heart could desire. The City Centre is home to major retail centres offering a range of boutiques and specialty stores, and international designers including DKNY, Versace and Gucci. Find Australian designers such as Morrissey, Collette Dinnigan and Alannah Hill in Oxford Street, Paddington.
Recreation is a specialty of Sydney, a city that takes full advantage of its natural environments. Soak up Sydney life on the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk, just one of many on offer. The Rose Bay to Watson's Bay and The Spit to Manly walks hug the harbour offering spectacular views. Challenge yourself by climbing Sydneys Harbour Bridge or enjoy a thrilling jet-boat jaunt.
In regards to attractions, Sydney has something for everyone - for the more adventurous, there is diving with Sharks at Manlys Oceanworld, Sydneys Skywalk or a Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb. To those wanting something more relaxing perhaps a tour of the Sydney Opera House, or a visit to Taronga Zoo to see the cuddly koalas and many exotic animals on display. For those seeking a birds eye view, the scenic helicopter flights will provide you with a breathtaking view of Sydneys Icons - the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and the Sydney Tower.
Gain an insight into Sydney Harbours history on a cruise, or board a yacht to explore the harbours hidden coves. For further relaxation, experience the holiday feel of Sydneys Northern Beaches stretching from Manly to Palm Beach. Escape to Outer Sydney to explore areas steeped in history and rich in natural beauty.
The Rocks/ Circular Quay accommodation ranges from heritage pub style accommodation, and bed and breakfasts to five star boutique hotels. With the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge within a few minutes walk, you are right in the hub of Sydney Harbour. Australias most well recognised icon, the Opera House, offers guided tours and a range of performances to suit all tastes - from the theatrical productions, ballet and opera to the classical renditions. The Rocks with its cobble laneways and historic buildings make it hard to believe this busy tourist precinct with the large selection of cafes, restaurants and pubs was once a shantytown. Nowadays, it is a trendy place to visit where there is always something happening.
Feel free to take part in the Sydney experience, tasting the lifestyle along the way.
