Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “Spacious1 BR@waterfront Olympic Park_free carpark,” I thought it was going to be one of those sterile Airbnb-style places that feels like a hotel room with a kitchenette thrown in. But walking into this place on Bennelong Parkway actually surprised me. The apartment genuinely lives up to that “spacious” promise, and you know what? The waterfront thing isn’t just marketing fluff – you’re literally looking out at some pretty decent water views, especially if you time it right around sunset. The whole Olympic Park area has this interesting vibe where it’s super quiet most of the time (I mean, it’s not exactly the CBD), but then you’ll get these random bursts of activity when there’s an event at ANZ Stadium or someone’s doing laps at the aquatic center.

The free parking situation is actually a bigger deal than you might think – anyone who’s driven around Sydney knows that finding a spot that doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg is like striking gold. Plus, being in Wentworth Point means you’re sort of in this bubble where everything feels newer and planned out, which can be refreshing if you’re coming from the chaos of inner Sydney. The apartment itself has that modern feel without being cold, and honestly, the kitchen is better equipped than some places I’ve stayed that cost twice as much. What really got me was how quiet it is at night – you’d think being near the stadium would mean noise, but it’s actually pretty peaceful most evenings.

The whole Olympic Park setup is interesting because it’s not your typical tourist area, but that’s kind of what makes it work. You’re about 20 minutes from the city by train (the station’s walkable), but you’ve got all this green space and water right outside your door. I found myself just wandering around the parklands in the morning with my coffee, which isn’t something I’d normally do in the city center. The local shopping isn’t amazing – there’s a decent enough center nearby – but if you’re planning to explore Sydney properly, you’ll probably be heading into town anyway. The 8.7 rating makes sense to me because while it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury, it delivers on the practical stuff really well, and that waterfront location does feel a bit special, especially for the price point you’re probably paying compared to staying right in the city.
