We enjoyed our stay in Darling Harbor. The property was as described and a has an amazing view.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is spacious and very comfortable with fantastic views, as shown in the listing photos. The location was perfect for our explorations of the CBD, Opera House, and Sydney Harbour whether on foot or by ferry. I like to be able to prepare meals as well as eat out, so was happy to find the kitchen appliances all worked and all the necessary utensils, plates, bowls, cups, pots and pans were in the cabinets.
The host was very friendly, easy to communicate with, and got right on calling in assistance when we had trouble getting the HVAC working on arrival. As other guests have mentioned, there is a large construction project on-going just across the street. The noise from it could be a problem for some, though it is (mostly) constrained to usual working hours.
I hope I'll have the opportunity to visit Sydney again and, if I do, this is where I'd want to stay.

A great few days away, loved the apartment. Close to everything and very spacious.

This was a lovely apartment in a great location. The property was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Great balcony overlooking Darling Harbour, even got to see fireworks from it on Saturday. The property manager was easy to communicate with with prior and during our stay.

Good stay, excellent location, excellent property, excellent property managers. The only real negative was the ongoing construction nearby (primarily the noise, not a deal breaker, but annoying at times to my wife).
5.0
Location: ideal for those who like to walk and explore their surroundings - we found everything w/in walking distance: the opera house, harbor bridge, botanical garden, China town, kings cross, rocks.. [5-12 miles a day range]. Loved being in such a walkable city and walkable location. Restaurants abound - right across the street or around town.
Condo: very nice, clean and functional. Staffed front desk aids check-in and security.
Construction: The Darling Harbor mall is being demolished and rebuilt. Construction starts promptly at 7 and finish by 5pm. Enjoying the patio and pool are audibly challenged. It is not very loud with the doors closed and since we were out and about it only bothered us when we tried to nap one afternoon.
Overall - location overcomes the inconvenience of the construction noise.

Thanks Donna and Bruce for our lovely stay in your beautiful apartment. A safe building, attentive concierge service, and a spacious, meticulously clean and very comfortable apartment. We enjoyed both inside the apartment and the large, private balcony from which we could take in the spectacular views. Will definitely be coming back to stay when we are again in Sydney!
5.0
It’s all about location! The apartment had the best view. Some construction in front of the building which made it noisy at times, but the view made up for it! Easy walk around town to all the sites. The apartment was stocked with all the necessities. We enjoyed our visit! Thank you!

New Year’s Eve in Sydney was on our bucket list and what a way to celebrate it. Fireworks on Darling harbour right in front of us as well as those off the Sydney bridge which we could see from both the condo rooftop and our own balcony. The condo is lovely, as advertised, and close to everything as well as the ferry dock for travelling anywhere you want to go. We were very happy with our choice and our host.
5.0
We and our family had a fantastic stay at your lovely apartment. So conveniently located close to shops, cafes and ferries. Views from apartment were unreal and the size of the patio was wonderful, so spacious. Free fireworks on Friday and Saturday nights right in front of apartment - brilliant. The photos of the apartment were extremely accurate and what you see is what you get. Pity about the shopping centre below having been demolished, as it had great shops and nightlife there. Hope they will rebuild another shopping centre. We would return to your apartment when next visiting Sydney. Thanks very much.

We stayed in this apartment in Dec 2023 while I attended a conference at the ICC. This location is perfect for that. It's a 7-8 minute walk from the door of the apartment to the ICC and all but about 50 yards of that can be walked through a covered parking area.
My wife toured Sydney while I was at the conference. There are lots of tourist attractions within walking distance and it's a great location to catch the ferry or tour bus.
The apartment has a nice balcony overlooking Darling Harbour, which can be quite peaceful at times, and noisy on the weekends or when they are doing construction.
The kitchen had all of the basic items we needed to cook for ourselves.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Great apartment, views, and easy walking and public transport to where we wanted to go.

We stayed in Sydney for a week and couldn't have been happier with this property. The flat is spacious, and has a great view of Darling Harbour and downtown Sydney. Everything we needed (including tea and coffee) was provided, and the location was a great jumping-off spot. If there is anything we would note for other travelers, it is this: (1) don't expect quick responses from the host. Donna was responsive, but don't expect to hear back to enquiries for 12-24 hours. And (2) there is a massive construction project underway on a property immediately adjacent to the building. If you're around during the day, you will not be able to relax on the deck because there is a LOT of noise from the construction work. And that's too bad, because the deck is awesome.

The property was exactly as advertised, check-in was smooth and the location was perfect. Great view of the harbour and the Saturday night fireworks were great. All kinds of restaurants, bars and pubs nearby. Convenient location near ferry/public transportation. Big Bus Hop On/Hop Off stop and organized tours/excursions pickups are also nearby. Would absolutely recommend and return if ever back in Sydney.

Absolutely fabulous location for a short Sydney break. Spectacular view. Buses, trains, ferries all just a few minutes walk away. Along with a myriad of bars and restaurants. The apartment is just as depicted. Extremely comfortable. Amazing hosts. Very easy to get to from airport.
New shopping centre construction was not an issue. They didn’t work Sat 12 PM to Tuesday AM and when they were working, it wasn’t an issue.
No negatives at all. We had a great time.
5.0
The apartment is awesome and very comfortable, clean, well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms. The location was in the best spot possible, with many different options for eating out. It was very central to many activities, and with easy access to public transportation, this made it easy to see all the different sights around Sydney. My family and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Lovely property right on Pyrmont walking bridge in Darling Harbour. Fully stocked kitchen with plenty of plates and utensils. Large bathrooms with 2 separate baths and 2 showers. The balcony has amazing views of Darling Harbour and during our visit, we were able to watch the 9PM and 12AM NYE fireworks from the comfort of the patio. What a treat! We would stay again!!

The property was awesome, very comfortable for our family of 4. The apartment was very clean and well equipped with everything we need for daily use. The balcony has very nice view of the harbor. The apartment is at a great location, walkable to the harbor and all the restaurants and also walkable to the shopping area of Victoria building and other surroundings.
Donna was very nice and responsive to all our questions, she was very kind with all my requests.
I would highly recommend this apartment for anybody visiting Sydney.

A beautiful apartment with an amazing location. Very comfortable with an incredible view of Darling Harbor and the Sydney skyline. The hosts were very communicative and made the process a breeze. My only regret is that we didn’t book a longer stay.

This property was beyond expectations! We were able to explore Sydney to our hearts content. It’s close to everything. We just wished we had decided to spend more than four days in Sydney.
The view from this place is phenomenal! We toyed with the idea of staying at the Four Seasons Hotel and at the end chose Darling one. Great choice!
Thank you, we will return!

Fabulous property with a great view over Darling Harbor. The kitchens and bathrooms were well stocked with essentials and the beds very comfy. Lots of great food /restaurant choices around yet close enough to walk to Circular Quay. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it.

The location was perfect: view on the harbour with all the restaurants, the Saturday fireworks and close to amazing venues. The apartment itself is great with spacious rooms. The swimming pool and spa on the last floor are the perfect spots to finish the day while waiting for the food delivery!!
