Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Sydney

80 stays · 65 aparthotels and 15 serviced apartments · from €140/night

Sydney is a spread-out harbour city where many visitors stay for weeks, whether on a work posting, a family visit or the start of a longer trip around Australia, so aparthotels and serviced apartments are a natural fit. A full kitchen, laundry and a separate bedroom make a real difference over a long stay, and they suit families heading for the beaches as well as business travellers working in the CBD or Parramatta.

Widely regarded as Sydney's second CBD, about 24 km west of the city centre, with government agencies, corporate offices and Western Sydney University campuses.

Getting around Sydney

Sydney Airport is about 9 km from the city centre. The T8 Airport & South Line runs from the Domestic and International stations to Central and the City Circle; a station access fee applies at the two airport stations on top of the normal fare. Taxis and ride-hailing are the alternatives.

One Opal ticketing system covers trains, Sydney Metro, light rail, ferries and buses, and you can tap on and off with an Opal card or a contactless bank card. Fares are capped daily and weekly, and off-peak fares, including all of Friday to Sunday, are discounted. The driverless M1 Metro line now runs from the north-west through the CBD to Sydenham, and harbour ferries from Circular Quay are both practical and scenic.

Living in Sydney for longer

The daily and weekly Opal fare caps make a long stay easy to budget for: tap the same card or bank card every time so the caps apply automatically. An apartment near a train or Metro station will save more time than one near the beach if you are commuting to the CBD or Parramatta.

Inner suburbs such as Surry Hills have dense, walkable streets with cafés and food shops, while Parramatta's big shopping centre covers most everyday needs. In summer heatwaves, western suburbs can be up to 10°C hotter than the coast, so air-conditioning matters more the further west you stay.

When to visit Sydney

Sydney has a humid subtropical climate with warm summers, when average highs are around 26°C, and mild winters with highs of about 17°C. Rain is heaviest in late summer and early autumn, and winter tends to be sunnier than summer.

January brings the Sydney Festival, the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras runs in February and March, Vivid Sydney lights up the city in May and June, and New Year's Eve fireworks over the harbour close the year.

Because the city covers such a large area, choose your base by what you will do most: harbour sightseeing, beach days or office commutes. For other Australian cities, see Melbourne or the Australia hub, and our guide to serviced apartments for relocation covers moving for work.
