Harbourfront/ Opera House and Harbour Views/Cremorne Point/Ferry
Make yourself at home beside Sydney Harbour.
Designed for up to four guests, the apartment offers the space and comfort to enjoy Sydney at your own pace.
Wake slowly, make coffee or tea and settle into the light-filled living areas as Sydney Harbour comes to life. Watch ferries begin their day crossing the water, listen to the birds in the trees and enjoy a quiet start before heading out to explore.
When you return, put your feet up in one of the two sitting rooms, prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen or gather around the dining table and enjoy an evening together.
Two beautifully appointed bedrooms offer a restful end to the day, while the marble bathroom, additional powder room and internal laundry provide the comforts that make both short and longer stays easy.
Here, time at the apartment becomes part of your Sydney experience — slow mornings, a welcoming place to return to after exploring, and relaxed evenings together overlooking the harbour.
Your journey into Sydney begins at the door
If you're planning a day exploring all that Sydney has to offer, the five-minute walk to Cremorne Point Wharf is part of the experience.
Step outside and wander beneath magnificent old fig trees, with glimpses of Sydney Harbour appearing through the leaves as ferries, yachts and boats move across the water.
Pass MacCallum Pool, Cremorne Point's beautiful harbourside swimming pool, where swimmers enjoy the water against the backdrop of the harbour and city skyline.
Continue through the leafy Cremorne Point foreshore parkland, where you may see locals out for a morning walk, jog, walking their dog or families picnicking on the grass, people sitting beneath the trees enjoying the harbour or tables being beautifully set for a wedding lunch, birthday or special celebration.
Take in the heritage homes and established gardens, listen to the birds, see bush turkeys wandering through the parkland and watch everyday life unfold beside one of the world's most beautiful harbours.
When you arrive at Cremorne Point Wharf, enjoy one of Bernie's coffees or something sweet before you step onto the ferry.
Cross Sydney Harbour like a local
Take a seat outside if you can and feel the harbour breeze as you leave the leafy shores of Cremorne Point.
Watch yachts and ferries cross the water and look right towards Kirribilli House, the Prime Minister's Sydney residence, and neighbouring Admiralty House, home to the Governor-General when in Sydney.
As you cross Sydney Harbour, watch the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and city skyline unfold in front of you.
Just nine minutes after leaving Cremorne Point, step off the ferry at Circular Quay in the heart of Sydney.
From here, some of Sydney's most famous attractions are waiting to be explored. Wander around Circular Quay to the Sydney Opera House, discover the historic streets and laneways of The Rocks, stroll through the Royal Botanic Garden or simply follow the waterfront and see where the day takes you.
Circular Quay also connects you with Sydney's ferries, trains, buses and light rail, making it easy to explore further across the city.
It's not simply a nine-minute ferry ride — it's nine minutes of experiencing Sydney from one of the best vantage points of all: its harbour.
Come home across the harbour
After a day exploring Sydney, return to Circular Quay and cross the harbour back to peaceful Cremorne Point.
Take a seat outside again if you can. Watch the city from the water as you leave its bustle behind, then step off at Cremorne Point Wharf and wander beneath the trees along the foreshore back home.
As the sun begins to set, settle into the apartment, put your feet up and share a drink while the colours across Sydney Harbour begin to change.
Prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen or gather around the dining table and enjoy an evening together as ferries glide across the water and the Sydney Opera House and city skyline light up across the harbour.
Then relax in one of the two sitting rooms, talk about the day's adventures or simply enjoy the view and the peaceful surroundings.
Your Sydney experience continues, now from the comfort of home.
Explore Sydney without a car
With a local bus stop right outside the building, exploring beyond the harbour is just as easy.
Step aboard and discover Sydney's nearby suburbs, beaches and attractions, then return to the peaceful surrounds of Cremorne Point.
The five-minute walk to Cremorne Point Wharf gives you another wonderfully easy way to explore. In just nine minutes, the ferry takes you across Sydney Harbour to Circular Quay, where you can connect with ferries, trains, buses and light rail.
With the bus at your door and the ferry just a five-minute walk away, you may find there's simply no need for a car.
Spend a quieter day by the harbour
If you feel like a quieter day, there's no need to venture far.
Step outside and follow the Cremorne Point foreshore past the Cremorne Point Wharf towards Mosman, wandering next to magnificent fig trees and through leafy waterfront parkland with Sydney Harbour beside you.
Along the way, discover Cremorne Point's Art Deco apartments and character homes tucked among established gardens.
Stop beside the water, watch yachts and ferries cross the harbour or simply enjoy the slower pace of this beautiful harbourside neighbourhood.
Pack a picnic and choose your own spot on the foreshore — spread out on the grass beneath the trees, watch life on the harbour and enjoy lunch with a view that's hard to beat.
Continue around to Mosman Bay and stop at the Mosman Rowers Club for a coffee, lunch or a drink right by the water, watching rowers and boats come and go.
Or, when you're ready to head home, wander to Mosman Bay Wharf and catch the ferry back to Cremorne Point Wharf.
Sit back and enjoy another journey across the water before finishing your outing with the beautiful five-minute walk through the foreshore parkland back home.
Walk, picnic, explore and return by ferry — a wonderful way to experience Sydney Harbour beyond your doorstep.

Thank-you Paul for your lovely review and pleased that you found the property superb/ agree those views are very iconic and beautiful- A big thank-you for putting the photo on.
It was a pleasure hosting you and I look forward to hosting you both again when next in Sydney.
This was an excellent stay, and we're so glad we chose this property. The location was one of its biggest strengths—it's in a quieter area than the city center, which made it a peaceful place to come back to after a busy day, and the views were incredible. We found it very easy to take the ferry into the city and also over to Manly Beach, so getting around without a car wasn't an issue.We also appreciated being able to order Uber Eats after long days of sightseeing, which made evenings especially easy. The in-unit washer and dryer worked perfectly and were a huge bonus, particularly for a longer stay. Overall, this property was comfortable, well-equipped, and exactly as described. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would happily recommend it to others visiting Sydney.

This location is an amazing deal for what you get. I I were avke to stay in Sydney frequently this would be my Go To place. We had an amazing time, the location was very comfortable and Jennifer was so helpful when we were silly and didn't follow directions well to find the key. The view is unmatched, ferrys are easy to get wherever we wanted to go. We went to the Blue Mountains on day and caught a train to it, it was so easy everyone in Sydney was very helpful. What an amazing experience to get to have.

About the host
Hosted by Jenny Empson
The photo is of my husband Michael and grandson Ethan, taken with the Opera House as the backdrop.
We love traveling and experiencing the various cultures and food.
My professional career was in the health field and now I do Property Management, which I love, as I get to meet/speak to different people.
I bought this property because of it being on the Sydney Harbour foreshore, with the iconic and picture-perfect views of the Opera House, Harbour and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Why they chose this property
The apartment is directly on the harbour foreshore, with uninterrupted iconic views of Sydney's famous landmarks- the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, (filtered) Botanical Gardens and CBD.
The Opera House for me is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and once I saw the apartment, I knew it was for me. You could never tire of looking at this view.
The apartment is in a prestige quiet area, with beautiful walks around the Sydney Harbour Foreshore, and a peaceful retreat to come home to at the end of the day.
I love having a picnic or wine out on the foreshore.
A different vista every day.
An incredible place from where to see the New Year Eve's fireworks.
What makes this property unique
A perfect setting to view the fireworks displays from the harbour and bridge, as well as the Sydney to Hobart Yacht races.
Sit and watch the ferries, watercabs, sailing and speed boats sail by your front door. You will also cruise ships and massive tankers making their way in and out of the harbour.
Enjoy a picnic on the foreshore.
Enjoy one of the most scenic Foreshore walks in Sydney from Cremorne Point to Mosman Bay.
Close to attractions and easy shopping.
Near transport, including the ferries.
Quiet, restful place to come home to after a day's outing.
Seeing the Sydney lights at night.
Watching the changing vista on Sydney Harbour 24 hours a day.
