Formerly the Cockatoo Island Fire Station, this 4-star property (8.6/10 on Booking.com) offers self-contained studio apartments and heritage houses with fully equipped kitchens, private bathrooms, and balconies overlooking Sydney Harbour. Guests can choose between restored Federation-era houses, semi-detached apartments with garden access, or pre-erected glamping tents with camp beds and sun lounges. The onsite Marina Cafe & Bar serves meals, and ferry services provide regular connections to Circular Quay, Luna Park Sydney, and Darling Harbour within 20 minutes. WiFi is available in public areas, and some units include dishwashers and washing machines. Cockatoo Island Accommodation is 5 km from Kingsford Smith Airport and 8 km from Town Hall. The surrounding area features Clarkes Point Reserve (0.5 km) and Ballast Point Park (2 km), ideal for scenic walks.
