This was the second time we have stayed in the converted Fire Station apartment. It is a good-sized studio, we love the wrap around views both inside and outside and spend lots of time on the fabulous deck, which includes both a shaded area and a BBQ. We also love all the unique heritage decor items from its past use as a fire station that elevate this from a boring hotel suite. We enjoy the ability to cook in the well-organised kitchen. The bed and pillow are comfortable. There was an extra doona but no cover for it which was a little odd. (Note: the photo displayed here by Hotels.com is for a separate building on the island, not the fire studio).

Tent was comfy and close to the amenities, was very quiet when we were there so had no issue with sound from other campers. Only thing our tent was right under a tree that the fruit bats like so maybe request a tent away from trees. I am sure they are harmless but they flew pretty close to us and the tent and was a bit scary when it was dark lol. And bats peeing and pooping on the tent was a bit gross. Kitchen area seemed well equipped and clean, even had a toaster, kettle and microwave ! We didnt experience any tours or the movie theater but we did have some campfire time. The bar/cafes shut early so be prepared and order some beer to go and food if you haven’t brought any. Shame they don’t stay open later and maybe have some music.

I enjoyed the solitude at night, despite the seagulls calling. The Fire Station Studio is ideal and very comfortable for a long weekend, with a variety of walks around the island. I didn't take a tour this time but will in future. The only disappointing aspect was the lack of better variety of food available at the kiosk. The menu at the Marina Cafe & Bar was slightly better but not a great deal re vegetables or fruit. I mainly self-catered after I shopped over the water at Barangaroo. Kitchen at the studio is well set up for self-catering. I will certainly recommend to friends and family who may come to Sydney and hopefully will enjoy another stay there.
