Where to start looking and booking for a stay in Sydney...
When you are planning your holiday in Australia, there is a big chance that you will visit Sydney.
First, lets have a look at some statistics:
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Sydney receives an average of 2.7 million international
overnight visitors. These visitors spend over 50.3 million nights in the region. This means that the
average visitor stays 18.6 nights.
Nearly 36.9% of nights in the region are spent in ‘Rented house / apartment / unit / flat’.
Secondly, what types of accommodation can we find in Sydney? The following categories provide predominantly
short-term non-residential accommodation:
* Hotels and resorts with facilities - establishments with 15 or more rooms which are licensed to operate a public bar and which provide accommodation on a room/suite basis, with a bath/shower and toilet in most guest rooms, but which do not have full cooking facilities (i.e. hot plates and oven/microwave) in most guest rooms.
* Motels, private hotels and guest houses with facilities - establishments with 15 or more rooms which are not licensed to operate a public bar, and which provide accommodation on a room/suite basis, with a bath/shower and toilet in most guest rooms, but which do not have full cooking facilities (i.e. hot plates and oven/microwave) in most guest rooms.
* Serviced apartments - establishments with 15 or more units which mostly comprise self-contained units at the same location, and which are available on a unit/apartment basis to the general public for a minimum of one night. The units should have full cooking facilities (i.e. hot plates and oven/microwave), refrigerator and bath/shower and toilet facilities; all bed linen and towels should be provided, and daily servicing (i.e. cleaning and bed making) must be available through the on-site management, although this service may not necessarily be used.
* Holiday flats, units and houses - (excluding establishments predominantly operated on a time-share basis) which are operated by owners, managers or real estate agents who have sole letting rights to at least 15 flats, units or houses for short-term letting. They should be mainly self-contained in terms of cooking, bath (or shower) and toilet facilities and do not have breakfast available for guests. Data for holiday flats units or houses include short-term owner operation as well as paying guest occupation.
* Caravan parks - establishments with 40 or more powered sites and cabins which provide either short-term or long-term accommodation to the general public and which provide powered sites for caravans and toilet, shower and laundry facilities for guests.
* Visitor hostels - establishments with 25 or more bed spaces which provide accommodation to visitors on a bed basis (rather than by room). This category does not include establishments providing charity type accommodation (e.g. Salvation Army hostels) nor hotels, motels and guest houses without in-room facilities which provide accommodation on a per room basis.
