When is the best time to go to St Ives?

The best time to visit St Ives, New South Wales, is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months. These seasons offer pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C, with less humidity than the summer and fewer rainy days than the winter. This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities like bushwalking in the nearby Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park or exploring the local parks and reserves. Couples looking for a relaxed getaway will appreciate the mild weather for leisurely strolls through the St Ives Village Green or enjoying a coffee at one of the local cafes without the summer crowds. The comfortable climate also makes it superb for visiting the nearby beaches without the peak season bustle. Families will find these times particularly good for outdoor adventures. The cooler temperatures are suitable for exploring the bushland trails, and the less crowded attractions mean a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right St Ives hotel for you.

Top St Ives Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly faultless"

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

8/10 Good

"Mum and daughter trip. The elevator was not working when we checked in so we opted to climb the stairs to our room. The room was amazing with glimpses of Darling Harbour. Fantastic location — we had a great stroll around the area and grabbed some dinner. Unfortunately we got stuck in the lift for 45 minutes coming back from dinner and on the way to check out the pool. Website that day had said they were having problems with the lifts so this was not totally unexpected. Staff were amazing and kept up informed about what was happening during the whole time. We have a great story to tell from the trip."

Rydges World Square

8/10 Good

"A great location for easy access across the CBD and easy walking to metro and tram station, and easy access to World Square eateries. Room was overall nicely appointed and a comfortable size, but a little dated in places and the hotel is showing it's age somewhat in terms of wall scuffs, carpet, bathroom tiles. However a comfortable stay, quiet, and good location for business in the city."
