Top Watsons Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Wildlife Retreat at Taronga

10/10 Excellent

"It was lovely having a koala outside my window. Filled my camera roll with his cute little face. Staff was very nice and rooms are lovely. The breakfast was good and varied, a little from day to day. It’s not really walking distance to anything else, so you either need to use an Uber or a car. One day in the zoo I think is enough, unless you have little kids."

Roar and Snore at Taronga Zoo Sydney

8/10 Good

"Loved the experience of seeing the animals after dark and before the park opened. Wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable staff. Food and drinks were superb as well. Only caveat was some of the bedding in the tent had a bit of a wet dog smell but we made out fine for the one night."

Elysium Manly

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, expensive but nice!"

The Albert Hotel Mosman

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well appointed and located. The room was comfortable, bathroom even better. The hotel has a musty, damp odour however which was unpleasant. Improved with the a/c on but still lingered in the hallways and lift."

Peppers Manly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with a great view from the balcony overlooking the beach. A short walk the the ferry terminal one one direction and the mall in the other. The room was perfect for a couple whether you want to relax in the unit or do some sightseeing or dining."

Hotel Bondi

10/10 Excellent

"HIghly recommend Hotel Bondi as a place to stay. Staff people were very helpful and kind. I really enjoyed my talks with the front desk people. They made me feel like I belonged and safe, which is important as I was travelling alone to Australia. Room was outstanding, very clean and quite comfortable. Food was excellent, bar staff was very attentive. Can't say enough about the beach view!! The veranda was my favorite spot in the evening."
