This was our second stay at a Harbour View Apartment, the first time we had the one-bedroom one and this time we booked the two-bedroom apartment, as there were three of us. Our stay coincided with two days of extreme heat and humidity, and since the apartment only had ceiling fans and a small and very noisy portable air-conditioner it did get a touch uncomfortable. We still enjoyed our stay, but potential guests should be aware of the cooling arrangements. Also worth mentioning might be the capriciousness of the WiFi connection. We were told this was only available around the reception area. However, we did manage to gain access in our apartment now and again. The apartment itself was spacious and immaculate, really a bit too big for just three people. The bedrooms and bathroom were on the small side, but the living area was huge. The kitchen had cutlery and crockery for six people, a microwave and fridge as well as a capsule coffee machine with pods. There were also coffee bags and tea bags, but no herbal tea. We received a carton of milk at check-in and only discovered later that it was skim milk. You are expected to wash and clear away your dishes and drop your rubbish into a bin outdoors before leaving. Don't hope to gain access to your apartment before 3 pm, but you can while away the time until check-in with a walk around or a coffee at the cafe. Be aware that the cafe is not open for dinner, so you will need to bring your own or pre-order a BBQ pack, or catch a ferry to the "mainland". Since the apartments are located on the upper island, you might want to accept the offer of taking you and your luggage up in a buggy. Pick-up is also available on request. A stay on Cockatoo Island is highly recommended for its uniqueness and the island's historical significance. The harbour views from the apartment are sensational, although you will only be able to glimpse the very top of a sail of the Opera House. If you get up early you might be lucky to see the sky glow over the Harbour Bridge. If you can afford it, try to stay for New Year's Eve.

Beautiful spot. Only shame is that breeding seagulls seem to be have given the best part of the island.

Nice easy camping adventure, ferry trip to the island with beautiful views especially at sunset and city lights at night. All facilities were clean

Enjoyed a night under the stars. Would definitely come again
