With an abundance of cultural, natural and iconic sights to see, Sydney is the dream location for many. If you’re planning a group trip to this famous Aussie city, you’re probably trying to find the best group accommodation options for you and your friends or family. This article will take you through some of the best group accommodation in Sydney so you can spend your time planning your itinerary and deciding which bars to frequent instead. The best thing about travelling in groups is that luxury accommodation often works out to the same price as hostels when being divided by several people. This means you get a lot more for your money.
When travelling in groups, it is important to have a communal space where everyone can socialize and hang out. It’s also equally important for everybody to have their privacy as well. We have taken this into consideration when recommending these different options for group accommodation in Sydney.
