The Branksome Hotel & Residences

Nate's East meets West Restaurant. The occasion was my wife’s belated 50th birthday, celebrated just with myself and our two adult children. First a mention to the staff attending us. They were so polite and attentive but not o.t.t. Their timing was spot on throughout the night. The main guy even wished my wife a happy birthday. Food was fantastic. Any variation asked for was greeted with a “yes we can do that”. The meals of each course all came out together. There was not one meal including deserts that was not fully consumed. Variety was excellent. When I saw the menu on the internet, I knew there was something each of my family would want to eat. As it turned out, There was no hesitation amongst any of us. And for the value…all put together, value was excellent. I rarely tip these days, but I on this occasion, I did not hesitate to do so. Such was the all round excellence of the evening. So, well done Nate’s.

Room was spacious making the stay comfortable and relaxing. I enjoyed having a walk in wardrobe that opens onto the bathroom , I found this space very useful for storing the suitcase to applying makeup. Washer and dryer combo was a brilliant idea; I must have overlooked this when booking and was impressed at having a dishwasher also. The neutral decor felt calming and relaxing. The staff were excellent . Close to public transport, facilities are fantastic I will definitely stay again.

Stayed for 4 nights, predominately for a music festival at Centennial Park. Great hotel, facilities and staff are excellent and value for money being so close to the airport. Very spacious, had compared other accommodation and would get less paying more so this was definitely bang for buck with room to relax. Short walking distance to public transport although easier at times to catch an uber for the quick ride into central Sydney rather than the 40 minutes via tram/bus/train. Mascot (area where train station is located) has great local facilities and places to dine and enjoy. Handy having a kitchen + washer/dryer for an extended stay when travelling internationally - huge bonus having those extra facilities.

The staff were helpful at the front desk when I requested assistance. Nice and convenient location to get to and from the domestic terminals. Most sound was well insulated too. Some noise from the freight train, bit not really much from airport. Balcony was generous, alas rain kept us off it for most of the visit. Loved the coffee table/desk. It made working on laptop on the lounge very easy while waiting for the person I had to pick up.

Very close to the airport and yet surprisingly quiet. Smooth 24hour check-in and hotel was very responsive to all my email queries. Huge, comfortable bed. Extensive room amenities: fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, black out blinds, coffee pods and slippers. Disabled room access and bathroom were most appreciated. Pleasant restaurant on-site and all hotel staff were most helpful and polite. A great place to stay, with everything you need, just outside the CBD or if flying to/from Sydney.
