If you’re looking for cosy, intimate and exclusive all at once, then you need to upgrade to Spicers Potts Point. Here, you get to stay in a beautiful Victorian house adorned with classic wrought iron decorations, just a few kilometres away from the Opera House.

Around you are some of the city’s trendiest restaurants, cafés and bars, and the streets in the neighbourhood are buzzing with life. Galleries, backpacker hostels, beautiful old houses and burger bars all stand side-by-side.

There are only 20 rooms here, all classically appointed, with luxury products in the bathroom and walls adorned with Australian art. All rooms have a flatscreen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, a minibar and a safe.

The breakfast, which is quite extraordinary for Australia, is included in the price and served in the cosy courtyard, and Wi-Fi is available throughout.
