Cremorne is a suburb of Sydney in Australia that was named after the Cremorne Gardens in London. Situated between Neutral Bay and Mosman, the area forms part of the lower North Shore. On the southernmost tip of Cremorne lies Cremorne Point, a peninsula that affords views across the famed Sydney Harbour. Somewhat confusingly, especially for first-time travelers, a number of bars in the area advertise themselves as hotels, but many areas offer quality lodging.
The Cremorne Point Manor is situated on Cremorne Point, within the North Shore of Sydney Harbour. Visitors can reach Cremorne Reserve, which offers views of Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, on foot in around five minutes. Alternatively, a ferry to the Historic Rocks takes under 10 minutes. The hotel only has two rooms with direct harbour views, so specify your wish when making inquiries. Alternatively, guests can use the hotel’s two communal balconies up until 8 p.m. As well as a public harbour-side swimming pool, Cremorne Point has a number of picnic areas. Following the Cremorne Point walk will take visitors to the Mosman Rowers Club, the hotel’s nearest restaurant.
Situated just off Bradfield Highway and next to Milsons Point Train Station, the Vibe Hotel is convenient for new arrivals to the city. The hotel is also just a few minutes' walk from the bustle of Sydney’s central business district. Check for availability of rooms and suites with direct views of Kirribilli and Lavender Bay. The hotel offers breakfast, lunch and dinner at its Curve café and bar. Alternatively, guests can find a number of restaurants and cafes in nearby Neutral Bay and Mosman. Outdoor activities include visiting the Sydney Harbour beaches, Balmoral and The Spit and wandering the North Sydney parklands and harbour-view walkways.
Following Military Road to the west out of Cremorne leads to the North Shore Hotel, a country-style guesthouse with easy access to the North Sydney central business district. The hotel is opposite North Sydney Oval and St. Leonard's Park, which provides 10 acres of parkland. The hotel is within walking distance of a number of shops and restaurants, as well as attractions such as the Harbour Bridge, Mary McKillop Museum and Neutral Bay. The nearby North Sydney Train station provides easy access to the city itself. The North Shore Hotel offers discounts for guests staying for more than three weeks.
Rydges is situated to the west of Cremorne on McLaren Street, within walking distance of Sydney’s northern beaches, as well as Lavender Bay, Forsyth Park and St. Leonard's Park. The ground floor of the hotel is occupied by a cocktail bar and the Mundo Global tapas restaurant – Australia’s first restaurant to offer interactive menus based on Apple’s iPad. Alternatively, nearby restaurants include Aqua Dining, Milsons and the Bathers Pavilion Restaurant and Cafe. Sydney Airport is around 40 minutes away by taxi. Those driving their own vehicles to the hotel will need to pay $15 per day to park.
