Top South Head Hotel Reviews

Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location, beautiful hotel. Would 100% stay again"

Shangri-La Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location with spacious, comfortable rooms on every level. For this stay, we upgraded to a Harbour View room on one of the upper floors, and it was absolutely worth it — the panoramic views were spectacular! The staff are always welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Check-in and check-out are also incredibly easy, with the option to do everything through the app or at the hotel, making arrival at any time a breeze. A beautiful place to stay and one we would happily return to!"

8/10 Good

"Location amazing a good enough reason to book all by itself. Apartment was clean and had everything we needed for a four night stay. Everything in the room worked and it was thoughtfully designed including a small kitchen area, kitchenware, nice bathroom. For a decent price and not being a fancy hotel it was a really good place to stay and great value for money."
