Hi Portia,

We were in Sydney when our little one was 6/7 months old and funnily had a budget experience to splurge out later on Hayman Island.

We found Sydney Central YHA brilliant as I had visited as a single person before. At the time it was perfect for our requirements for a baby just being weaned. It had a laundrette, self-contained family room (we bought a cheap basin for baby's bath as it was shower only), sufficient space, and best of all a kitchen so that we could be as messy as we want with food prep for him - sterilising with steriliser bags, making up his cereal, etc.

This may not be what you're after, but just be careful that Sydney is not very disabled access friendly, so lots of underground stops only had steps, and older buses often had a few steps up too. Cabs had no baby car seats in the main either. For us, having an Ergo baby carrier as well as an umbrella pram like Maclaren was the best combination.
