Those who overlooked Glen's very generous offer of some "cheap" accomodation for the night of the Christmas Dinner really missed out on something special!

Yeah, if you like that 'night city lights over the best harbour in the world' kind of view! Geez, you can't even see the Opera House!

Very nice view :lol:

Pano pro extraordinaire. #1 is superb, but being greedy I'd have liked you to have reached out an extra meter or so to get the extreme left of the image too :lol:

Great accommodation too.

Normal rates for a view like that, NYE would be something like $1,000 per night, with a minimum of 3 nights stay! (Mind you, you would get all your friends to crash on the floor to split the costs and leave an absolute mess upon departure) :lol:

Vince already fully booked NYE, as you probably expected, I couldn't even get my mum in, so no fireworks for her. :wink:

Pa, it is a block of executive serviced apartments which normally rents for $200 per night for a 1 bedroom apartment like Leon stayed in. They normally dont do single nights but I organised a discount and that they would do singles or two nights as I thought it was a great spot for interstate vistors to stay in. It is 50 metres from Milsons Point Station, so that means a train from the airport and one stop to the city (or 1,000m walk across the bridge), 200 metres from Luna Park, the harbour, etc. I thought it would be a nice spot for partners to stay at as plenty to do and plenty of room in an apartment, makes it a bit easier to sell to partners as a romantic weekend in Sydney "Oh, with a forum dinner in the middle" :lol:

Often booked out (there are only 50 of them) but I will try for future events.
