Hotel Barrenjoey House (Sydney, Australia)

From the homemade bruschetta to the seafood and decadent desserts, the restaurant at this hotel is certain not to disappoint. Everything is served fresh and right to your liking, no matter what you order.

Because there is a fairly busy road outside of the hotel, you will notice there is a magnetic screen in your room. This is to put up on the window in case things get too noisy, which is the perfect solution for quiet nights.

Since the beach is right across the street from the hotel, you get the convenience of being able to walk there. Even better, you can sleep with the windows open so all you hear is the sea waves rolling. It couldn't be more thrilling!

Unfortunately, what you may not be happy about in your room is the shared bathroom. Even if you book an en-suite room, you may still have to share a bathroom down the hall, which can be a pain.

Despite its amazing food, the same can't be said about the service in the restaurant. The waiters tend to disappear for long periods of time and can take a while with your food.

Because there is only one hairdryer to be shared between everyone, you are not guaranteed to use it. You might want to bring your own in order to keep at bay any inconveniences.
