      I highly recommend Meriton Service Apartments at Kent Street. (Kent Street is just back to back with George Street) Central location, walkable to darling harbour, Chinatown and QVB. There is also a Coles Supermarket across the street and lots of eateries nearby. the free 555 shuttle bus to opera house is just downstairs too.


      However, I think normal price is not cheap, one night about AUD$300+ per night for a 2 bedroom apartment One way is to join their mailing list and wait for their discount emails. That’s what I did and I think I got AUD$180 for June this year.

      Another option near Meriton Kent Street is Radisson Hotels and Suites at Liverpool Street. It has rooms with 2 queen beds, and it being a hotel, it’s cheaper.

      Hope this helps !

            The usual places are blue mountains (kids shd enjoy the railway/tramway) , hunter valley (if you like wine), opera house, harbour bridge, harbour cruise, the rocks (there is a market there on weekends), Sydney aquarium, darling harbour etc etc. if you are not sure what to do there, easiest is go to one or two travel agents to pick up their brochure and steal their ideas! :evil: Have fun! 🙂

                    I realised that car rental is very cheap - so we are renting a car to go out of Sydney and staying in Blue Mountain for a couple of days. Don’t have answer to your question yet (re day trips) but some admission tickets e.g. zoo are cheaper buying online.

                      Yup, car rental is pretty reasonable, all through Australia. Be careful re their speed limits though - we learnt that being over the limits by 15km is enough to land us a 120AUD fine!
