Offering free Wi-Fi, Cremorne Point Manor is located in the lower North Shore of Sydney. It offers air-conditioned rooms with a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator. Some rooms offer a spa bath or a hot tub.

Nice quiet location, and only a 2 minute walk to the 8 minute ferry ride to the Circular Quay (next to Sydney Opera House) where you can switch over to other ferries, buses, trains etc. Even though we had to pay extra for Continental Breakfast, it was worth it. Nearby was a nice walking trail and Cremorne Reserve. Great property if you want to enjoy big city, but not stay in a noisy area.
