Rare LincolnLegend Posted October 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi everyone, just looking for ideas and/or suggestions for places to stay the night before a cruise that departs from the White Bay cruise terminal. I generally stay at the Russell Hotel prior to cruises but just noticed that my next cruise takes off from White Bay instead of Circular Quay. I did a quick google search on accommodation in the area and came up basically blank so I'm wondering if there is any area that is best to look at for ease of transfer on the morning of the cruise. Cheers, Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted October 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Maybe look at the Darling Harbour area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinbadThePorter Posted October 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The Russell Hotel is as good as any and better than most for access to White Bay. It's going to be a taxi ride anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By The Bay Posted October 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2018 We stayed at Ibis in Darling Harbour and it was a quick Uber ride for $15 to White Elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted October 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Any hotel near Kings Wharf or Wynyard would do me as it is so easy to jump on the ferry across to White Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not a bad idea as long as the journey from the Ferry pier to White Bay is within your capabilities. theres an IBIS near Kings Wharf I’m pretty sure, and we love The Grace in York St,, or at a lower price point (usually) Travelodge Wynyard isn’t too bad, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted October 27, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Not bad at all, very well priced for those that are looking for Sydney parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagoon380 Posted October 27, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Last time we cruised from White Bay we stayed at the Metro apartments, it's a very short walk to the ferry wharf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted October 27, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 27, 2018 That would be good as I like having an apartment with a lounge room and such instead of just a hotel room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupcakeSusie Posted October 29, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I’m not sure if this link will work but there are a few places close by. I think @lagoon380 ‘s suggestion of the Metro apartments is excellent. https://au.hotels.com/search.do?resolved-location=CITY%3A25061%3AUNKNOWN%3AUNKNOWN&f-distance=2.0&f-lid=1780482&destination-id=25061&q-destination=Balmain, New South Wales, Australia&q-check-in=2018-10-28&q-check-out=2018-10-29&q-rooms=1&q-room-0-adults=1&q-room-0-children=0&sort-order=DISTANCE_FROM_LANDMARK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LincolnLegend Posted October 29, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thanks so much for all the suggestions, I did suspect that it probably wouldn't matter too much but thought that I may be missing something. With the wealth of knowledge available here, I decided it was worth asking the question. Now to decide whether to stick with the known and comfortable, if a little quirky, Russell or to venture forth and explore new territory!
