Rustic Hotels in Sydney, Australia
Sydney, Australia, boasts incredible sightseeing within the city itself, but it's the area surrounding the city that attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the globe. The rugged terrain offers visitors the opportunity to participate in leisurely activities like hunting and camping or more extreme sports like rock climbing and base jumping.

Accommodations in Sydney are available to fit every lifestyle and budget, running the gamut from modern to historical. While the city is known for its modern architecture and design, Sydney's rustic hotels offer charm and character not found in more contemporary establishments.

Glenferrie Lodge

Nestled in the tree-lined streets of one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, the Glenferrie Lodge was built in 1898 as a private residence. In the 1930s it was converted to a guest house, as it remains today. It is also rated as one of Australia's most affordable hotels by Australia Traveler Magazine.

Guests are treated to a hot breakfast, which is included in all room rates. Many rooms have balconies overlooking the historic neighborhood, and most balconies also have view of the harbor. All rooms include a television and refrigerator. The Glenferrie Lodge is also a pet-friendly location.
