Park Regis Concierge Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

Mosman Luxury Studio

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here. The communcation with Wayne was excellent and he was always ready to help. It is just a short walk to the ferry, which is a nice way to start the day. We enjoyed the feeling of having lived for a week in Mosman, rather than just beig a tourist. Great facilities in the apartment. The cafe at the wharf has some tasty food, just be aware that there isn't a supermarket for quick supplies just around the corner, although you can take a bus into Mosman shops. Overall, highly recommended! Thanks, Wayne :)"

Q Station Sydney Harbour National Park by Accor

10/10 Excellent

"multiple stays, good value, great staff, very helpful & efficient. Good rooms. Air-con would be good but not a deal breaker. Bedside reading lights with USB A&C outlets would be great."

QT Bondi

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice place to stay"

Roar and Snore at Taronga Zoo Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"We had a terrific time even though it hailed just before our tour. Luckily it stopped and we were still able to see plenty of animals. The staff are passionate about the animals and the talks are very entertaining and interesting. It rained at the end of the tour but the tents were dry and the amenities are not far away. We heard the lions roar during the night! We woke up to the birds singing and the stunning harbour view. I could not fault it and it feels good knowing that some of the money goes to animal conservation."

The Albert Hotel Mosman

8/10 Good

"Our stay was fine but we had no parking. After attending a wedding we returned to the hotel in the late evening and had to find street parking before heading to room."

Ballantyne at Mosman Serviced Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Great location , lovely clean air conditioned apartment , fully equipped. Plenty of parking available with cafes and shops nearby. Great communication from our host . "
