List on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo & more

Sydney CBD and The Rocks sit at the top of Sydney's short-let market for nightly rate. Harbour views, proximity to the Opera House and Circular Quay, and strong corporate demand from the financial district drive consistent high-rate bookings. Summer peaks from December to February push rates well above the annual average.
