Holiday Home by Barangaroo Reserve CONSTRUCTION WORK ON EXTERIOR FROM 23 SEPTEMBER to 11 OCTOBER Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Holiday Home by Barangaroo Reserve CONSTRUCTION WORK ON EXTERIOR FROM 23 SEPTEMBER to 11 OCTOBER on High Street, you’ll notice it sits right in the heart of Sydney’s CBD — and I mean really in the thick of things. The location is honestly what sold me on this place before I even stepped inside. Yes, there’s construction happening on the exterior during those specific dates in September and October, but the management is upfront about it, which I actually appreciate. The four-star property has that modern Australian hospitality feel without being too flashy about it.

Location Magic

You know what’s brilliant about staying here? Barangaroo Reserve is literally your backyard — I’m talking about one of Sydney’s newest and most stunning waterfront parks. I spent my mornings walking through the reserve with my coffee, watching the harbor come alive. The Circular Quay is a quick stroll away, which means the Opera House and Harbour Bridge are practically neighbors. For couples especially, this spot hits differently — there’s something romantic about having the harbor so close while still being in the business district’s energy.

The Space Itself

The room setup here feels more like a proper holiday home than your typical hotel stay. I mean, you’ve got space to actually live a bit, not just crash for the night. The interiors are clean and contemporary — nothing too fancy, but everything works well. What I loved most was how quiet it stays despite being on High Street; the windows do their job blocking out the city noise. The whole place has this relaxed vibe that makes you want to settle in rather than just pass through.

Why the High Rating Makes Sense

That 9.4 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — you feel it when you’re there. The staff genuinely seems to care about making your stay work, and they know the neighborhood inside out. I got better restaurant recommendations from the front desk than I did from most travel blogs, honestly. The building itself might not be the flashiest on the block, but there’s something refreshing about a place that focuses on getting the basics absolutely right rather than overwhelming you with unnecessary extras.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing — this place works because it understands what travelers actually want from a Sydney stay. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or rooftop pools you’ll never use; you’re paying for an incredible location that puts the best of Sydney within walking distance. The harbor views, the proximity to both business and leisure spots, and that rare combination of urban convenience with waterfront tranquility — it’s exactly what makes Sydney special. Plus, for couples looking for that perfect base to explore the city together, the location feedback speaks for itself. Sometimes the best thing is simply being in the right place.

Locals suggest to book apartments in Sydney around Surry Hills for wine bars, indie theaters, and relaxed brunch porches.
