Hotels and Accommodation

Sydney is a pretty expensive city to stay in at the best of times, and over the new year I'm afraid it gets just a little crazy, so you can expect to pay a premium wherever you are. There are some relatively better deals to be had by heading a little further out of the city, possibly to Manly of the other northern beaches, you won't need to worry about getting home after the fireworks as public transport runs through the night on new year in Sydney.

You can check availability and make reservations for local hotels here.
