Sydney justly deserves its reputation as one of the "Great Cities of the World."
It was here, at Campbell's Cove in the Rocks, that European Man established the first full time colony. It is the birthplace of Australia.
The Sydney Opera House sits on a point of land jutting into the Harbour on the East side of Campbell's Cove, and the Rocks nestles under the "Coathanger" (as the locals call the Sydney Harbour Bridge) on the Western side. This is the Circular Quay area. We strongly feel that your accommodation should be located in the Circular Quay / Rocks area.
We have wholesale contracts with a number of beautifully located accommodation properties with views of the Opera House, the Rocks and the Bridge, all within an easy stroll of some fabulous restaurants, and just a minute's stroll from the Circular Quay ferry terminal. This is the "heart" of downtown Sydney. Some hotels are better than others, and we have selected our preferred properties based on location, service, aspect and value for money. All are 4 Star and above.
We will also give you first-hand restaurant recommendations after discussing your preferences for dining style.
We can include the Bridge Climb, an afternoon sail on the Harbour, and other activites ranging from guided walks to cycle tours.
We will also give you directions on how to explore the city on foot, getting into the "nooks and crannies" that make Sydney so special.
Sydney: Finding It On Your Own - The Sydney Opera House
The shopping is wonderful, the Historic Buildings and Museums outstanding ... and your Travel Planner will show you how to discover it all as you please.
The Blue Mountains are about an hour's drive to the west of the city and there are a number of options to discover the scenery and the wildlife, from joining a small group tour to having your own private guide and driver. We discuss all these options to develop the best trip for your travel style.
Similarly, your time in the Hunter Valley wine region can be as short as a day, or as long as several nights. Ask your Travel Planner about driving up the coast all the way from Sydney to Brisbane, taking in small coastal towns and the rural areas of the Northern New South Wales coast in a leisurely, well planned four or five day sojourn based on actual experience.
