Beautiful property with ferry terminal directly outside. Easy to get to central Sydney while able to enjoy quiet waterfront location. Multiple walking trails around the peninsula. Not many shops close by the but the restaurant hotel was very reasonably priced and had lots of options. Upscale seafood restaurant just next door, fish and chips at the ferry terminal. Very nice breakfast. Staff very attentive. Highly recommended.

What a Gem !!!!

Wow! What a gem! Watson Boutique is a fantastic little hotel that sits right on the water in Watson Bay. Next to the dock where you can catch ferries that take you everywhere you need to be. Resturaunt & bar on site to make everything complete. Rooms are decorated very tastefully in a nautical theme which is perfect. Daily housekeeping was superb in making the little details covered. (loved the little cookies for tea time! yum yum!) The front desk staff all were very accomadating and Thank you Dan for reaching out to us the first night to make sure we had the details for the room key. (as we were late in arrival time). A wonderful breakfast bar each morning was included and the barristas provided excellent service in making sure we had our custom coffees always fresh & full. What a treat! Great job barristas! Thank you Thank you!

I have visited this place with my wife and two young daughters, for four days. We were impressed with everything, exceeding our expectations, despite it wasn’t 5 star hotel. Very good breakfast, good dining, amazing interior - maritime style. Suitable connection with Sydney centre by ferry, which is just behind corner. I would like to back again to Watson Bay Boutique Hotel. Highly recommended. :)
