Independent in Sunnyside from AU$109

The best area to stay in Sunnyside is along the Esplanade, particularly the stretch between Jetty Road and the Sunnyside Beachfront Promenade.


This area is the heart of Sunnyside's visitor experience, offering direct access to the beach and panoramic ocean views. The Esplanade is a wide boulevard lined with palm trees, featuring a mix of modern apartments and boutique hotels. It's very walkable, with numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops located just a short stroll away on Jetty Road.


Couples will find this area particularly appealing. The proximity to the beach allows for romantic sunset walks, and many hotels offer rooms with balconies overlooking the ocean. Dining options range from casual beachfront eateries to more upscale restaurants superb for a special evening out. The Sunnyside Pier, a local landmark, is also within easy reach for a leisurely walk.


For families, the Esplanade close to the Sunnyside Beachfront Promenade is an excellent choice. This section provides easy access to the patrolled swimming areas of the beach and playgrounds along the promenade.

The best time to go to Sunnyside is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November).


These periods offer the most pleasant weather, with warm, sunny days great for exploring the region's wineries and coastal attractions without the intense heat of summer or the cooler temperatures of winter. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, making for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
