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

Host profile image
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.
