We stayed at Harbourside last week for five days. It was our first experience of Australia and it was VERY disappointing. Reception staff ranged from adequate to positively surly and condescending. The apartment was very old- fashioned and dated. The kitchen was extremely poorly equipped, inadequate utensils, no dishwasher or laundry facilities in the apartment. This property clearly trades on... More

I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay at Harbourside, in reviewing your stay and speaking with staff, unfortunately your interpretation of your experience does not equate to the level of service you were offered. You arrived at 7am (check in time is 2pm) and as you were arriving from overseas we offered for you to check... More

Our one-bedroom apartment on the 14th floor gave us a lovely view of the Opera House and Bridge, especially at night. The entrance to Harbourside is a 1 minute stroll from McMahon Point ferry stop. The staff were lovely. Pool was a nice temp. A range of great cafes within 10 minute walk; Recommend Le Bay Cafe & Your Place.... More

Our apartment was on the 12th floor and we can honestly say that it had the best view we have ever encountered. We usually drive but because the ferry was so convenient we used it for our entire stay. It was always on time and was a pleasurable way to get around. The apartment was comfortable will all mod-cons although... More

We recently spent a week in Sydney and stayed at the Harbourside Apts. It is a little hard to find by car but worth the search. We returned our car the next day and used the ferries to get around Sydney. There is a ferry stop right outside the Apartments. You can catch a ferry to Circular Quay or Darling... More

Best located self contained holiday apartments in Sydney. If you can afford the rooms with the views then go for it - they are fantastic. The rooms themselves range depending upon if you get ones that have been recently renovated or not - and it can be quite a difference. Also no air conditioning - only ceiling fans. and the... More

I first learned of Harbourside Apartments from Gourmet Traveller & what a great find for a discerning traveller. As I spend long hours in the artificial air of an office; it is a relief to find accommodation with such a stunning view plus a beautiful breeze off the harbour - no aircon - fantastic. I slept with the windows wide... More

After staying here for 3 weeks with work in January I chose to re book for 5 nights when my fiancé flew out from the UK to join me. I booked a non view studio room but asked for a high floor. They put us on the top floor and the room was perfect. It still had a view albeit... More

If this place was quieter it would be fine. It's in a lovely spot right on the harbour, ferry at the door, clean comfortable rooms, and helpful staff. We had a one bedroom apartment on the 10th floor. With no airconditioning over the Easter long weekend you had no option but to have the windows open. On Friday night that... More

Harbourside prides itself on fantastic Sydney Harbour waterfront views and location, something our guests love and is just one of the reasons why we are so popular with Australian and international guests. Many of the positive comments describe our property as quiet and peaceful, unfortunately you did not seem to experience this on your stay. Maggie Archer Director of Rooms More

We left after only one night (25th March 13). Sensational views and a brilliant location with ferry service right on your doorstep BUT,,,, big picture windows caused our one bedroom apartment to boil like a sauna.
