About Plane Spotter Garden Bar @ The Branksome Hotel & Residences
The Branksome Hotel & Residences is on Robey Street in Mascot, a few minutes from Sydney Airport, and its rooftop Plane Spotter Garden Bar makes the most of the location. From behind its glass-sided edge, guests get a direct, unobstructed view of aircraft coming and going, with the city skyline in the distance. The terrace is laid out as a garden: low planter beds and artificial turf, mixed metal bistro chairs and low lounge benches around small round tables, with soft table lamps for the evening. Tables and seating are movable, so it can be set for mingling or informal dining — up to 200 standing or 125 seated. It's an evening space, booked from 5pm to 10pm, with in-house catering that covers halal, kosher, extensive vegan and gluten-free menus. There's a PA system and Wi-Fi, wheelchair access, free parking on site, and hotel rooms downstairs for guests flying in. It's a distinctive choice for a work function, a milestone birthday or a send-off for someone heading overseas.

This time round, we stayed there as a family of 5 for 4 nights. The (Wilkinson) suite was incredibly spacious, and the staff were kind enough to help convert the study into an extra bedroom for one of our children. One o…
