Sydney has a harbour that is the envy of most coastal cities.
To experience its charms, treat yourself to the glamorous waterside oasis that is Four Seasons Sydney. Perfectly perched in the historic Rocks area, overlooking the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, the hotel has 531 luxurious rooms and suites,
many with panoramic views across the harbour and the city.
The generously sized rooms have a wide range of amenities, but it's Kable's restaurant that gives this hotel its well-deserved reputation.
Chef Jeffrey De Rome oversees one of Sydney's finest dining experiences, whether it be breakfast or dinner.
The buffet breakfast is one of the best in town; be sure to try the Eggs Benedict.
For best available room rates and restaurant bookings, see www.fourseasons.com/sydney.
With Circular Quay on your doorstep, cross the road and board the ferry to Neutral Bay. A quick harbour hop away are two of Sydney's most prestigious residences. Kirribilli is home to Kirribilli House, where the Australian Prime Minister lives and Admiralty House, the residence of the Governor-General.
Have you ever fancied camping on the edge of Sydney Harbour? Cockatoo Island is the largest island on Sydney Harbour, and the only place where you can legally pitch a tent.
Camping fees are just $55 a night. Cockatoo Island also features some interesting heritage buildings, including the convicts' prison and colonial shipbuilding yards, and is well worth a visit.
