This place is a gem. Ive been coming here for more than a decade and its always a good time. I haven't been back for a while, but they have done a great job with it. The beautiful heritage has been preserved, while updated with modern facilities. If you're interested in experiencing the historic side of Sydney town, forget the big hotels and treat yourself to a stay here. In the core of the Rocks, its a taste of Old Sydney, but beautifully clean and neat. It has communal areas, where its easy to mix with your family or other travellers, but you also have the privacy of your own room. The welcome is warm and efficient, and downstairs is a historic bar with great food and bev. A real treasure.

We had the most fantastic weekend away! Our group was quite large, but from the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and looked after throughout the entire stay. Brendan and his team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us. Nothing was too much trouble, and we truly couldn't have asked for better hospitality. We had a lot of luggage, and the staff were incredibly helpful in carrying everything and getting us settled in. A special thank you to Toby, Luke, and another young gentleman who helped with all our luggage making it absolute stress free to getting settled and ready to enjoy our weekends. The location was fantastic, the food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. We had such a wonderful weekend and would highly recommend staying here. We can't wait to come back! 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I took my two children to a Pizza Making class at the Australian Heritage. A HUGE thank you to the two amazing ladies that were running it. You both were fantastic with my two kids. So friendly, engaging, patient and kind.

Great restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food. The Coat of Arms Pizza was absolutely fantastic and definitely worth trying! We really enjoyed our visit and would happily come back.
