The property was in a fantastic location, opposite Paddy's Markets, walking distance to cafes/bars/restaurants, public transport was nearby. The staff were extremely helpful with a 24hr reception. My only negative is that I didnt like that I had no control of the air conditioning in my room, it was set at temperature. Staff were helpful to change it but during the night I became hot, when I turned it off I felt stuffy in the room.

8.2/10 Very good! (7,771 reviews)

The Oaks was once a great place to stay, unfortunately that is not the case today, the units are tired and dated with very little atmosphere, ours was on the 5th floor and on the dark side of the building, the lights had to be on all day, the air cond could not be set to warm and the temp control was all over the place, the facilities are good and the location is okay but noisy at times, there seems to be a lot of permanent residents and the bottom floors have cages around them where their personal stuff is stored. Transport is close and very good to the city etc, the eateries on this side of Darling harbour are over priced and not worth the effort, a cheap NZ wine was $18 a glass? The whole bottle is only $15 in NZ, service was crappy and they had the cheek to ask for a tip. Overall okay but we won't use the Oaks again, asked for a wake up call for an early flight and got nothing, lucky for our tablet alarm. 😕

It was nice but I expected a bit more for the price. The car park was difficult to get as it’s a very busy place and area and the guest car park gets filled with people who aren’t staying. That’s not the staff’s fault but it’s impossible to enforce. Overall, it was a lovely stay.

We just arrived back from a one night stay and it was wonderful. Beautiful 1 bed apartment, great pool and gym and the breakfast was delicious. The parking was $40 but we could park easily, onsite and way before check in which was helpful and then we could park until 5pm the next day which was great. Would highly recommend with a great central location - will be visiting again!

9/10 Wonderful! (1,517 reviews)

The location is awesome. One tram stop away from circular quay. We love the city views, the big bed, and the corner rooms where we usually stay, are enjoyable. The water from the shower often saturates the floor, which is annoying. Also, the bathroom has few places to store toiletry bags etc, so they have to go on the floor if they don’t fit on the sink area. The service is very good and there is always a lovely fresh smell in the lobby. Breakfast is good, if a little same, same. The staff there are all a little stern. It would be nice if they were a little friendlier.

FAQs: Finding family holidays in New South Wales

What are the best family holiday destinations in NSW?

New South Wales is home to some of Australia’s best beach holidays, but there’s way more beyond that. On top of hot spots like Sydney and Byron Bay, you can mix things up in locations like Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast. These NSW family holiday destinations are ideal for both week-long vacations and weekend getaways.

What should I think about when looking for NSW family holiday deals?

Before booking resort packages for family holidays in NSW, there are a handful of things you should consider. Like the rest of Australia, New South Wales covers a lot of land mass, so be sure to consider the location of your accommodation. Opting for hotels with pools, water activities, dining options and kids clubs can help save time and money. Plus, it means you don’t have to drive far for things to do!

What can I do on a family getaway in NSW?

NSW offers activities, attractions and unique experiences that are fit for the whole family. Spot whales in Byron Bay, visit the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie and hike in the lush rainforest in Dorrigo. For something a bit more laid-back, you could enjoy the beaches on a getaway to Port Stephens or Lord Howe Island.

What kid-friendly activities can I do on a New South Wales family holiday?

Once you book your packages with flights, it’s time to think about the activities on offer. Come face to face with wildlife at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo, go mountain biking at the Barrington Tops and explore Fitzroy Falls in Morton National Park. NSW has a mix of exciting activities and relaxing experiences for families with kids of all ages.

How can I book last minute family holiday deals in NSW?

You can organise a family vacation at the last minute with Expedia. Simply choose your desired destination, pick your flights and select a hotel. Then, add on things like car rentals, activities, tours and more. If you’re booking at the last minute, locations like Sydney and the Blue Mountains are some of the best NSW family holiday destinations.

When is the best time for a family package holiday in NSW?

In general, you can find the best cheap vacations by booking in advance. New South Wales is a popular destination in Australia, so booking a holiday package ahead of time means that you’ll have more options to choose from. You also may be able to find more affordable deals by booking in spring or autumn.

Can I book a family trip to NSW with free cancellation and/or flexible dates?

When booking a family holiday, flexibility is key. Be sure to look for packages with free cancellation and pay later options. If something happens at the last minute, you can conveniently change plans without losing money. In general, you don’t have to pay an extra fee if you change or cancel within 24 hours of making the booking. This depends on your hotel, airline, car rental company or activity provider. Check out Expedia’s Customer Service Portal for more information.

Why should I book my family New South Wales vacation with Expedia?

You can book vacation packages with airfare included, and more. On top of flights and hotels, you can add car rental, activities, tours and even extra luggage. The more you bundle, the more money you can save. If you’re travelling with your family, then every cent counts.
