Hotels Near Kapunda Reserve in Sydney

The saying you get what you pay for rings very true on this trip. This was a 3 day break for myself and my partner for some prior Christmas mayhem relaxation. From the time you turn into the driveway to when you pull up at your room entrance run down, old and untidy come to mind. Reception people were nice to deal with but there is no feeling of escape here. The pool photos look nothing like the pool, the actual pool has a green tinge and all the concrete on the bottom is patchy and losing it’s colour. Not inviting at all. Near our room there was a communal ashtray and small bin which contained probably a 100 or so cigarette butts and looked awful, there were also quite a few empty pizza boxes etc strewn around the bin area but on the floor. The room was big enough and clean but dated like the rest of the place. I think I remember this place used to be booked out for weddings and functions many years ago. Definitely a shadow of it’s former self. I wouldn’t recommend the place in it’s current state and highly recommend management employ some cleaners and groundskeepers. A hardcore renovation may do something towards saving this place but unfortunately I think it would cost too much.

The bed is large and the environment is very quiet, not far from the beach.

I stayed at Seranin Gordon for a few nights, I previously stayed at Seranin Lane Cove & had such a good experience when I need a place to stay again I couldn't go past Seranin Gordon. The rooms are immaculate & brand new, the manager Patrick was very helpful and responsive. The location was amazing being so close to public transport and local shops up the road. will definitely stay again

Recently renovated from the old Killara Motor Inn, this motel has some real advantages - clean rooms, a great location ~10 minutes' walk away from the Lindfield station, plenty of parking just off the Pacific Highway, and a terrific little restaurant serving up-market Japanese cuisine. Disadvantages of highway noise and external access to rooms (although well protected by a roof) are minor downsides, but you might ask for a room at the back with views south-west. There aren't many options if you are staying in the central north shore area - Chatswood and Macquarie are further away and much more expensive, and few local pubs offer accommodation.

We have previously stayed here when it was still the Travelodge. There have been a few upgrades since, which were needed. Bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows. Some negatives however: no bedside lights, no hand towel in the bathroom and no luggage rack. When we asked about these we were met with blank stares. We purchased a portable LED light from our local Bunnings to use as a reading light. We paid for parking ($20 per night), but found 2 out of our 5 nights the car park was full and we were unable to park in the hotel car park. It appears that when there's a rugby game on, guests at the hotel let their friends park in the hotel car park. In addition, the disability parking spots were frequently occupied by those without the applicable parking permit. Hotel staff was not at all interested, but did give us a refund for the 2 nights when parking was not available.

The nightcap pymble hotel is a hidden treasure. When you walk through the old wooden doors, you are taken back in time to an art deco era. Great food, rooms refurbished and very comfortable and service pretty good too. David the manager is a legend and went above and beyond when my booking was mucked up. Has a bws bottle shop attached, doesn’t do breakfast but you can get a breaky pack. A top place to stay

Great place to stay for a weekend, even if the weather is lousy. Excellent room 103, opposite the beach. 2 x queen beds and a lounge and big balcony. Weather was terrible, so we ordered to our room coffee and breakfast, and one night an excellent pizza. Had a few drinks downstairs and there was a great duo band on. Couldn’t hear a thing in our rooms as the sound proofing was so good. Would definitely stay again.

Very disappointed with our 2 night stay at the Miller Hotel. We had to wait till exactly 2.00pm to check in. Normally, I would be totally ok with this, however, about a dozen other guests had to do the same. Then as we were all handed our keys we were informed that our rooms had no towels or face washers etc - but these were delivered an hour or so later. We only received one towel, but rang reception who organized another to be sent to our room. Throughout the property the carpets looked like they were soiled in parts, and in desperate need of a vacuum - plus there was mould in the bathroom. On a positive note, we had a fully cooked breakfast on both days which was very good. I have stayed at this property on several occasions under the Rydges banner, however, probably won't return in a hurry.

I stayed at Crown Towers Perth in Sep 2022 and June 2023. I also stayed in Crown Towers Melbourne in Dec 2022. Thus, the next logical move is to stay in Crown Towers Sydney to complete my experience in staying at all 3 Crown Towers Hotel in Australia. I finally did that. Stayed at Crown Towers Sydney from 3 Nov to 8 Nov 2023. Today is 8 Nov 2023 and I will be checking out shortly. I stayed at an opera king room which has views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. The room was very well lit and nice. Just the appropriate size for a sole traveller. I also managed to try most of the restaurants in Crown Towers Sydney except Yoshii Omakase which is so hard to book and Silks. I did not managed to book Yoshii even when it opened for booking. Guess too many people booking. I tried Epicurean for breakfast, dinner at A’Mare, Nobu, Woodcut and Oncore by Clare Smyth. I did not try Silks since being an Asian Chinese, I normally do not eat Chinese food when I go holiday. Got to try other food instead. My favourite restaurant is undoubtedly Oncore where I ordered the 7 course seasonal tasting menu. Superb. Woodcut was also good where I ordered their sirloin steak. Nobu was also nice as it completed my tour of all 3 Nobu in Australia having previously eaten at Nobu Perth and Melbourne when I stayed at Crown Towers there. For Nobu , I ordered the X Haku Omakase which is 5 course. The star of the course was the lobster. Overall I have enjoyed my stay in here. As Sarah Brightman is coming to Sydney in Aug to Oct 2024, I have already booked my tickets to watch her performance at Sydney Opera House in Sep 2024 and also booked a 4 night stay at Crown Towers Sydney again. For the future, I do hope Crown Towers Sydney can have a Crystal Club for breakfast like what Perth and Melbourne has. Also, hope to see more shops/entertainment areas at Crown and also a provision/gift/snack shop here at Crown Towers Sydney.
