It was nice riding the ferry for a 1 hour cruise around the harbour. Although it was super hot that day at 40 degrees - there’s plenty of room inside the air conditioned parts of the ferry so it was nice and we didn’t feel the need to just stay outside where it was scorching. Tour guide was very friendly as well as all the staff of the boat.

Super happy with the meal, service and decor. Such a lovely atmosphere and such a unique experience dining above the clouds with 360 degree views of the entire city! Food was great, however deducted one star simply for variety, I feel especially the dessert bar could have something a little more interesting on offer; however, saying that, everything on offer had lovely flavours and was gorgeously presented.

It only takes ten minutes to get to Taronga Zoo. Sitting on the second floor, you can clearly see the Sydney Opera House and the bridge. It is very nice to take pictures when the weather is good.
