![]() ![]() It’s great to do as a staycation from Sydney and a great night away if you want to be away from the city without driving ages. The tent was a very good size with great amenities such as duvets, pillows, soaps, bedside table which turned into an esky, towels, deck chairs and a lantern. But the best thing I’d say would be the waterfront campsite. The toilets for camping were very well looked after also. ![]() We watched the sunset on the deck and they had a campfire going nearby. One had live music in the afternoon and the other was really cool at night seeing the city and harbour bridge all lit up. The restaurants were also great and we visited both on the island. The tour was great and took you round the whole island and you can buy the Audio for 5/6$ each. We arrived around 11am and did the virtual tour while we were waiting to check in at 2pm. Me and my boyfriend stayed here for one night in one of the waterfront campground site and we were very pleased with what we experienced. The apartment was clean and spacious and included all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The seagulls, however, were loud but this was all part of the experience. Located alongside Sydney Harbour, Cockatoo Island Accommodation options include self-contained houses and apartments, camping grounds and glamping tents. The island itself was quiet, we got the impression there weren't too many other guests staying the night. Cockatoo Island is the only harbour island where you can stay overnight, so we packed an overnight bag and made tracks for this unique Sydney staycation. We were given a contact number for the night ranger should anything go wrong, but this was not needed. ![]() We were also able to take audio guides of the island for the whole night, so we could complete the tour after the visitor reception and cafes had closed - this meant we had a relatively quiet experience. We arrived at around 2.30pm - check in was very easy and the receptionist was friendly and showed us where to go. There are no other eating/drinking facilities on the island so this was an essential stop really - there is nothing to stop you getting a ferry into town though after hours. The visitor centre and cafe were closing at 3pm, so we stopped at a supermarket before getting the ferry to the island to stock up on food etc. There are fantastic views from the studio, right across the harbour and all around the island. Ferries also run all day so you don't feel isolated or stuck on the island. The studio is situated directly above the visitor reception/ticket office so very easy to get to from the ferry wharf. It was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend.
