Southend Hotel  

Beachside in Maroubra on Sydney’s Eastern Beaches — a short 2-minute drive to Maroubra Beach and under 10 minutes to La Perouse Museum and Coogee Beach. Roughly 20 minutes from both Sydney CBD and the airport, this family-friendly motel-style hotel sits in the South Maroubra shopping village.

A small, community-run hotel with 15 air-conditioned rooms, each with a private balcony or patio, fridge, kettle and flat-screen TV with multiple channels. Deluxe rooms sit at the quieter rear and some offer interconnecting doors for families; all rooms are on the first floor (up a short flight of stairs) and receive daily servicing.

Quench a sunny day at the bar/lounge or grab a meal at the ground-floor bistro and bottleshop. Onsite perks include complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking, luggage storage, laundry, an ATM and a ping-pong area — and you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings from your balcony.

Event-ready with conference space and a meeting room, plus complimentary Wi‑Fi and free onsite parking for delegates.

A friendly pub bistro serves great-value, family-friendly meals and local flavors on the ground floor, backed by a relaxed bar and bottleshop; rooms include free tea and coffee for easy starts.
