One of the most exciting parts about travelling is where you will stay. It’s also one of the most important decisions to make as it can affect the enjoyment of your holiday. If you somehow choose the wrong accommodation it can make your stay uncomfortable and bring unnecessary stress.
Hotels are usually the first thing that comes to mind when looking to book your accommodation. However, travellers can now opt to stay in a serviced apartment instead. Unlike traditional hotels, serviced apartments are more economical for longer stays or for a group or large family.
Serviced apartments offer facilities much like your own home so you can enjoy living like a local when travelling. This gives it that real home away from home feeling.
Fully Furnished and Equipped
One of the most distinctive features of a serviced apartment compared to your traditional hotel is the kitchen or cooking facilities. Especially if you are booked for a long-term stay, you probably won’t want to eat out for every meal. Serviced apartments provide a fully equipped kitchen complete with pots, pans and utensils and even sometimes a dishwasher so you can cook just like you would at home.
Serviced apartments are also equipped with a washing machine and dryer, making it very useful if you’re staying for a long period of time. A 3-month stay without laundry facilities is not ideal!
Our Clarence apartment is located in the heart of Sydney’s Central Business District, this one bedroom is tastefully furnished complete with a balcony for your relaxation.
Features include a full kitchen complete with dishwasher and microwave, unlimited wi fi, TV and air conditioning, internal washing machine and dryer with iron and ironing board, all linen provided and close to public transport.
This apartment has a minimum stay required, making it perfect for someone on an extended business trip. Take a look at this listing here.
More Spacious
Serviced apartments are just like hotels but with added space convenience. There’s nothing worse than spending hours travelling only to arrive at your booked accommodation and it feels like a cramped cupboard. Serviced apartments provide full size rooms, usually with separate dining and living areas. This makes them ideal for people travelling in a group, especially with children.
Located in Drummoyne, the Wolseley apartment is a lovely three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in an older style apartment block just 15 minutes from Sydney’s CBD. A bright fully equipped kitchen adjoins the large dining and lounge area, all with panoramic water views. This apartment can sleep up to five people comfortably and offers security access plus underground parking for one car. Unlimited Wi-Fi, an internal laundry, air conditioning in the living room and ceiling fans in the bedroom make this apartment a comfortable choice and great value for money.

Cost Effective
Even a short term stay in a hotel room can be expensive. For longer stays, a serviced apartment is much more cost effective. Not only will you have a stylish and spacious place to stay, but you can also save money by utilising the fully equipped kitchen and fridge to store and cook your own meals.
Use the money you save to do more shopping or spend it on experiences around Sydney. Pitt St Mall, The Galleries, Westfields and the QVB boast many designer and popular retail stores that are fun to browse through. Enjoy a buffet meal in the Sydney Tower or visit museums and attractions in Darling Harbour such as the Sea Life Aquarium, Madame Tussauds and Wild Life Sydney Zoo.

Amenities
The amenities at a serviced apartment compared to hotels can vary. While a serviced apartment may lack amenities such as room service, concierge, mini bar or breakfast services, depending on the building, it can come with amenities like a pool, fitness centre, terrace or roof deck.
Wi fi is almost always included in serviced apartments which means you can stay connected to family and friends back home or if you’re on a business trip you can easily continue to work from the comfort of your room.
