The continental breakfast was lovely with fresh fruit, pastries, toast, muesli, yoghurt, cereal options, muffins, barista coffee and fluffy pancakes on Sunday.
The loft room was perfect! We ordered food in from the restaurant and were very pleased. The breakfast was delicious. The location to the ferry made the day trip into Sydney easy. Thanks for the stay and would definitely book again.

Disliked: Staff & service
The view is absolutely lovely, you definitely feel like you’re tucked in a beautiful little saltwater nook with amazing views. The room was super spacious for 4 at a really great price. There could be improvements, for example, chairs around the table that’s in room, but that’s just nitpicking.
Fabulous location, spectacular views of the harbour, comfortable and clean rooms with a delicious breakfast option. Friendly staff and would highly recommend.
Lovely spot on the water and to the ferry across to Circular Quay.
New restaurant on site Missy K is beautiful food.
Bar onsite.
Staff at reception are great.
Room was clean with view of water and partial view of Harbour Bridge.
excellent hotel in an excellent part of Sydney. Breakfast by the harbour was a particular treat

We stayed in the harbour view loft. Check-in was relatively straight forward. Apart from the view the room and amenity are very average. Probably an equivalent of a 2.5-3 star hotel. Don’t expect too much for breakfast, just toast and jam, milk and fruits. A nice weekend away though.
From arrival to check out, nothing was a problem for the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and the inclusion of breakfast was so good. The location of the hotel is picture perfect with the waters edge only a hop, skip and jump, access to fabulous walks and the ferry to Circular Quay on your doorstep. One of the best staycations we've had. Oh... and the rooms, stunning!
Loved the room, the staff and the location. So easy to jump on buses and ferry. No need to use the car. Our Loft Room was so quiet. We expected noise from the hotel and restaurants downstairs. The only disappointment was the breakfast. A little sparse on choices.
