“Not only do guests have the opportunity to be among the first to stay at the newest Rydges hotel, and the newest major property in the Sydney region – they also have the chance to live a little by choosing from our selection of excitement packages, which range from horse riding to sky diving and hot air ballooning.”

This package is priced from $420 per person.
