Opera House Views | Harbourfront Cremorne Point
Immerse yourself in Sydney as you wake to breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and the filtered Harbour Bridge. Make yourself a cup of coffee or tea and watch the harbour come to life, as ferries begin crossing the water and, during cruise season, cruise ships sail into Sydney Harbour. Listen to the birds singing in the trees. Then enjoy a leisurely breakfast as you watch through the arched window — the harbour activity across the water and locals out for their morning walk.
