Vibe Hotel North, Sydney

Advantages: Atomsphere. Many places to go and do.
Disadvantages: Huge country, and big distances between destinations.

...I was fortunate enough to travel Australia for six months and found Sydney was by far my favourite location. Be it the Sydney Bridge, Opera house or Bondi beach all of it was great. For me though, the best part was the vibe and atomsphere of the place. Maybe its the weather, but the place was constantly buzzing and the people were helpful and always had a smile on their face. George Street in particular was best for this. On top of that, there is always something to do. The beaches, Bondi, Palm and my favourite Cogee. A little less heard of, but still has the surf, sand, people and surprisingly nightlife at the hotel. On top of that, theres excursions away, such as the seven (or six now) apostles, Wildlife tours and if your adventureous, sky diving and bungee diving. The Resturants, Bars and nightlife are endless.

Advantages: The most spectacular views of Sydney Bridge, Opera and harbour.
Disadvantages: No restaurant, not cheap.

...Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House must be among the most photographed man-made structures on earth. They truly are iconic. And if the idea of wakening up each morning with the most stunning views of both - and the whole panorama of Sydney Harbour thrown in as well - appeals to you, then the Harbourside Apartments is definitely the place to book. Sydney is an amazing place. It swarms, it bustles, it throbs with vibrancy. It is without doubt a must-see place. But if you prefer to escape the crowds (and the city noise) at night, then North Sydney - just a few minutes away across the harbour - is the ideal place to stay. Sydney's transport system is excellent, and the ferry services are first-class - better than the bus system in most UK towns. The Harbourside apartments are located right next to McMahon's Point.
