Loved the location, a short ferry ride to arrive. The island was very enjoyable to explore and take pictures, absolutely beautiful. Lots of history to enjoy. The apartment we booked was beautiful and had excellent views. The heater was on when we arrived, so it was nice and warm. The windows had the options of shade and privacy shutters. The apartment had a washer and dryer, full bathroom, full kitchen with fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, stove/oven and dishwasher. There was a beautiful private balcony area that had a full barbeque. There was a TV, DVD player, and Bluetooth speaker for convenience.

Very spacious, great location, staff was nice.

Turned up at 5 to check in no one there, had to call security. Lady in cafe said visitors centre has to be open till 8 but always go home early, 2 bedroom apartment, Front light didn't work, back light over BBQ didn't work, cigarette butts all over verandah and pathways, said online very fast internet but no wifi in room, shower tap was broken and had to keep putting it back on to work. Pillow was stained yellow. The amount I paid for 2 nights at $820 it should have been perfect. And it wouldn't hurt to have milk in the fridge for the pod machine..

We absolutely loved our stay on Cockatoo Island in one of the Harbourside Apartments. So peaceful with spectacular wrap around views and incredibly comfortable and well appointed apartment. There is a lot to do on Cockatoo Island or no need to do anything. We chose to stay during the acoustic Sunset Sessions in summer so that we could also go to a concert one evening which was delightful. The guided tours on the island are fantastic with very well-informed and interesting guides.

The food options on the island are very limited and closed very early. For the standard of accommodation it would be ideal to have breakfast items provided at least for the first morning. We appreciated the tea and coffee provided but it was very limited with only one small container of milk. There was no other biscuits or other items provided which surprised us. Overall it was the food in the apartment and on the island that was the only disappointment.

The property is actually very beautiful surrounded by trees and Buildings and behind us was the Large Water Tower, we valued the privacy

It needed to be brighter outside as it seemed Gloomy and sad i feel like we weren’t told about the History of the Island and perhaps our Home we stayed in as the 2nd night there there were Noises and people talking outside my window at a time when it was dark, cold wet and Windy, I wasn’t imagining things however that was my experience

We stayed in one of the houses and it was a wonderful family adventure. The garden was great to relax in and take in the contestant changing activities on the harbour while the kids played. It was also a great island to explore. Getting around by ferry was also fun for everyone, we could get wherever we wanted on the harbour quickly and easily.

A small issue is the tourists wandering into the property not realising it was private.The front door had to be locked at all times. We even had someone ask if they could come and look inside the house. Some sort of easy to manage lock on the gate would be great.

Wonderful location with great (and clean) amenities. Plenty of things do do on the island as well as an easy trip to the city to venture further.

Access to staff for assistance was limited as we spent most days off the island and the office hours were very restricted (and not always available within the advertised hours). Security is available at all hours but were unable to help, despite us being told that they could.

Location is the best, views are second to none Staff is very friendly and helpful Facilities are great The tent was pretty good given the very bad weather on that night we stayed. We were sleeping like logs in the rain. I would not suggest BYO tents because the weather can be quite tricky on the island.

It can be a little bit noisy at some points.

When we first arrived we were horrified thinking what are we in for but then we were told I booked a whole house I was shocked The outside we thought we were going to an old derelict house but inside was like a palace. It wasn’t until later we discovered the history of cockatoo island and then it all made sense.

Once we realised what cockatoo island was and all the history it made sense the only trouble I had was trying to use the hot plate

Arriving by ferry The welcome The ride up to the room (23A) Excellent accommodation; good amount of space for 4 people. Superb view from spacious balcony. Good functional kitchen. Comfortable rooms, comfortable beds, nice bathroom. Thank you for the 11:00am check out.

There was nothing we didn’t like Everything was great

The accommodation was fabulous. It was clean comfortable and the most amazing views. The ability to explore the island and its history was wonderful. The ferry rides to the island were regular and such an excellent way to see the harbour.

The views were spectacular.
