Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Sydney Olympic Park Half House - All Yours is set in Sydney. The property features garden and quiet street views, and is 2.5 km from Sydney Showground. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.8 km from Bicentennial Park.

The property was very easy to find and close to the train station and the bus stop and was only minutes away via bus from the accor stadium which was a bonus for us as we were able to rest and relax before the concert. Me and my sis in law were welcomed with a nice welcome card and complimentary food and drinks which we thought was very nice. The property was very clean and organised, to be honest better than some hotels I have stayed at. My previous booking got cancelled last minute and this popped up a few days later and booked it straight away, so happy I was able to find this property as this property was perfect. We also arrived early and contacted the owner a couple of times and was very happy with her quick response, we were also able to check in early. Thank you so much Chris for everything. We had the best time and we will definitely come back.

St Marks Randwick is a stylish guesthouse located just 20-minutes walk from Coogee beach and The Royal Randwick Racecourse. With public transport close by, it’s just 15 minutes by bus to the Sydney CBD and Sydney Harbour. Free unlimited WiFi is provided.

Clean and well maintained property with comfy beds. There were some nice touches such as coffee, microwave, toaster and laundry which was nice since I stayed there for 11 days. I had forgot an electric converter and they saved the day by providing one to borrow! When it rained they let us borrow umbrellas! And when we needed luggage stored, the provided that also!! I would absolutely return! It was a wonderful place in a nice neighborhood, and only a 20 minute walk to the beach!
