Sunrise Garden Suites
Garden suites with a children's playground on site
About this hotel
Family practicality drives this property: full kitchens, a washing machine and balconies come in every unit, and a children's playground on site gives younger kids somewhere to burn energy without leaving the grounds. A garden and terrace add outdoor space that few CBD apartment hotels offer, and a paid shuttle service and free on-site parking cover transport in both directions. At 15 kilometres from the Harbour Bridge and 39 from the airport, North Head Historic Reserve and Viaduct Harbour both sit within reach for a day trip. Guests consistently rate the room cleanliness, staff support and convenient location as the property's clearest strengths. The combination of a garden, a children's playground and full self-catering facilities makes this one of the more genuinely practical family bases on the North Shore side of the harbour, particularly for a stay running longer than a long weekend.

Our take
This suits families who want a genuine kitchen, laundry facilities and a playground on site rather than a compact CBD apartment. The garden and terrace give younger kids room to play between outings, and the paid shuttle removes the need for a rental car. Couples or solo travellers wanting a central, walkable CBD base should look elsewhere, since this property sits some distance from the centre.
- Use the children's playground for a break between sightseeing days, it's on the grounds rather than a drive away
- Book the paid shuttle in advance for airport transfers, it saves arranging a taxi on arrival day
- Plan a North Head Historic Reserve outing if a quieter historic site appeals over the CBD crowds
Why we love it
- A children's playground on site

Why guests love itSunrise Garden Suites has a children's playground in its garden, which gives younger kids somewhere to play between outings without a search for a park. The suites have kitchens and balconies, useful for a longer family stay, and there is a terrace for quieter moments. A paid airport shuttle simplifies arrival day, and the Harbour Bridge is about 15 kilometres away. With a 9.1 score from 686 reviews, I would recommend it to families with young children.
