泊瑞:“A must-see attraction in Sydney! Take a direct ferry to see emus, koalas, kangaroos, and other Australian animals and various lizards. Remember to book a day in advance to take a close-up photo with the koalas. Of course, you can also watch from outside the fence without booking.”
Anonymous user:“It's a truly worthwhile place to visit. Hearing Mozart's masterpieces at the Sydney Opera House was a real treat! "Carmen" was also playing, so taking photos during the performance was forbidden, so I only managed one during the curtain call. The performance, including the intermission, lasted over three hours.”
Open tomorrow at 08:00-17:00 (admission ends at 15:00)
随心而至:“Walk to Pier 6 and you will see the store. It is very convenient to scan the code to get the ticket.
You will most likely see whales, but whether you can see them clearly depends on luck. The two-hour boat ride is a bit dizzy, but it is worth it to enjoy the Sydney sea view along the way.”
Open tomorrow at 10:00-17:00 (admission ends at 16:00)
Anonymous user:“This place is value for money. We spent around 2 hours there and watched lots of marine animals. Although it’s not a big place, the arrangement inside is pretty good and every tourist has got chances to experience.”

growler:“Very simple, you can go in directly with the redemption code. The entrance is on the 5th floor of the mall, and you can take the escalator up. After going up, the sightseeing floor is on the 4th floor, and you can't go outdoors. It is recommended to come in after 4 o'clock and leave after watching the night view. Some of the glass above is not very clean, resulting in poor shooting effects. You can experience delayed shooting. Some buildings seriously block the view of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.”
_We***87:“Darling Harbour in Australia is really beautiful and worth a visit. The tour guide publishes the perfect itinerary every day and reminds us patiently every day. It is really convenient for a family to go out with a personal butler. It is more comfortable to have a small group with fewer people than a large group.”
Anonymous user:“You can get on and off the bus at will within 24 hours, from the time you get on the bus on the first day to the time on the second day, not just on the day. The red and blue buses need to be arranged at the right time. There are no buses at Bondi Beach around 4 o'clock.”
E02***14:“The Harbour Bridge is worth a visit, it's free. Walking on the bridge, you can overlook the Sydney Opera House from afar, and you can also overlook the yachts and cruise ships shuttling across the blue sea under the bridge. It's very pleasant!”
The Wandering Architects:“Circular Quay is the beating heart of Sydney – where the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge create a postcard-perfect panorama that never gets old. The energy is electric, with ferries gliding past, street performers adding flair, and world-class dining overlooking the water. Yes, it's touristy, but that's because it's genuinely spectacular. Whether you're grabbing a coffee at dawn or watching the city lights dance at night, this is Sydney at its most magical. Worth the hype!”

Guest User:“In short, Pullman Hyde Park Sydney is a great hotel with a gym and pool that offer good views. The rooms are clean, and the location is perfect for accessing all the famous tourist spots.
We stayed for 5 nights at Pullman Hyde Park Sydney in mid-May. We arrived at the hotel around 10 AM, which was earlier than the scheduled check-in time. We requested an early check-in at the concierge; however, we were informed that no rooms were available until 1 PM. This was understandable, given our early arrival.
While waiting, we appreciated the water dispenser and snacks available for guests. One downside was that the hotel had only three lifts, which were insufficient for the number of guests. One lift even broke down, and the other two were quite slow.
We booked a Superior King Room with a Hyde Park view, which was lovely. The room was clean, with no odors or stains. However, our first room was missing disposable slippers and had a broken phone. The staff quickly sent a technician and arranged for us to move to a higher floor with a functioning phone. They were responsive, but we had to move our luggage ourselves, as they were unable to assist with that. (It was around 6pm so they may be short-staffed at that moment.)
We spent some time at the gym, but unfortunately, the drinking water ran out around 6 PM. We called the concierge to have it replenished, but no one arrived by the time we left. The pool was decent, and there was also a jacuzzi. However, the jacuzzi was located right next to the gym and in front of the glass entrance, so anyone coming out of the elevator could see you enjoying it, which may or may not be a concern for some guests. A highlight was running on the treadmill while enjoying the stunning sunset over the city skyline—it was spectacular.
The location was fantastic! The major bus stops were just a 6-minute walk away, providing easy access to Bondi Beach, Central Station, and Darling Harbour .etc. It was also only a 15-20 minute walk to the harbour, which made exploring the area very convenient.
Overall, while I believe there are cheaper options with similar location advantages, the cleanliness at Pullman Hyde Park was notably better than those alternatives.”
Charmander:“Appreciated that they could separate the king bed into two single beds. Trolley was provided so that guest could push their luggages up.
Amenities not so good, bedroom slippers not provided so prepare your own. Toothbrush had to be requested at counter, and toothbrush was hard man.
Service 10/10 for the trainee girl at the reception.
Breakfast was included, limited choices but acceptable.”
Guest User:“The room is big and clean, with a balcony which I didn’t expect, I love it so much, also, the bed is large and comfy. The location of the hotel is convenient, close to the Chinatown.”
Thach Vo:“My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point from June 13 to June 16, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. If you’re looking for a stylish, romantic getaway in a vibrant yet peaceful neighborhood, this is the place!”
Anonymous User:“The hotel is quite old and looks different from the photos on the official website. There are many Chinese tourists, but it’s very convenient for shopping and dining. The front desk staff were also nice.”
Guest User:“The room is so big and clean. The location is very good that 10 mins walk to the central station. It is very easy to algo round the main attractions.”
Anonymous User:“Just a few light rail stops from Central. Very convenient with friendly and helpful staff. A 15-min walk to famous fish market where you could enjoy very fresh prawns, lobster and oysters. Super Yummy!”
Siang Ai:“Our 2-night stay at the Harbour View Tower room was fantastic, with a stunning Darling Harbour view that was a highlight of our trip. The location was also superb, offering easy access to the city's main attractions. We particularly enjoyed the excellent breakfast spread, which added to the overall great experience.”
Anonymous User:“Excellent service by reception staff, assisted me with my check-in and was very welcoming. Room is clean and bright and spacious. Buffet breakfast was also good value for money. Located very near to a train station and just a short walk to Chinatown and Surry Hills.”

没有蜡olling:“Catalina🎩 restaurant, except for the appetizer bread, the other food is not very delicious, nor is it bad, just average. The appetizer bread is really bad! The service is super good, I didn't ask anything, the waiter kept running over to refill my super bad appetizer bread [crying][crying][crying] ”
