Be there when the Netball World Cup returns to home soil. The Tournament Opener 3-Nights Package covers the opening two days of Netball World Cup Sydney 2027 — four sessions in official Platinum reserved seats and all twelve matches across Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 August.

Vibe Hotel Sydney Darling Harbour sits on Sussex Street on the western edge of the CBD, a few minutes' walk from the Darling Harbour waterfront and around ten minutes on foot to Town Hall and the city centre. SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, the Australian National Maritime Museum and the ICC Sydney precinct are all within easy walking distance.4-star
The hotel is contemporary in style, with a rooftop pool and bar overlooking the city, a 24-hour gym, and the Storehouse Sydney Darling Harbour restaurant and bar on the ground floor serving breakfast daily. Rooms are modern and well laid out, with city or Darling Harbour outlooks on higher floors.4-star
For the netball, mornings fill easily from here — the waterfront, the aquarium and the city's shopping are all on foot — before the coach departs at midday. After night sessions you're back around 10pm to a hotel within walking distance of late-night dining around Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay.5-star
The Star Grand is the hotel within The Star Sydney at Pyrmont, overlooking Darling Harbour, with the light rail stopping at the door and the CBD a short walk across Pyrmont Bridge. Rooms and suites are spacious, many with harbour or city skyline views.5-star
The precinct's dining is a feature in its own right: Sokyo for contemporary Japanese, BLACK Bar & Grill for steak, Flying Fish for seafood and Cucina Porto for Italian, alongside casual eateries, bars and the Sydney Lyric theatre. Hotel facilities include a pool, fitness centre and day-spa treatments within the complex, with daily breakfast included in our packages.5-star
For the netball, non-match evenings take care of themselves — dinner, a show or a harbourside walk without leaving the precinct — and mornings reach the Sydney Fish Market, Barangaroo and the CBD on foot. The coach departs and returns as with every package.5-star
Hilton Sydney occupies one of the city's most central addresses on George Street, directly opposite the Queen Victoria Building, with Pitt Street Mall and Town Hall station moments away. Circular Quay, the Opera House and the Royal Botanic Garden are a short walk or two train stops from the door.5-star
The hotel's food and drink venues are Sydney institutions: the glass brasserie for breakfast and modern Australian dining, the heritage-listed Marble Bar downstairs, and Zeta Bar with its terrace above George Street. Facilities include an indoor heated pool, a large health club and gym, and executive lounge access with eligible room categories.5-star
For the netball, everything radiates from the front door — mornings can take in the QVB, the harbour or the Botanic Garden without transport, the coach departs from the CBD at midday, and you return after night sessions to the middle of the city with room service and late venues at hand.Get in touch to start planning your next sports travel experience.
