Next, travel to the beautiful Gunners’ Barracks for an elegant à la carte lunch with sweeping views over Sydney Harbour. This heritage-listed venue, once a military outpost, now offers old-world charm in a serene setting. Return to the hotel with the rest of your afternoon and evening at leisure.

After breakfast, we head to the Museum of Contemporary Art, housed in a grand Art Deco building on Circular Quay. Enjoy a self-guided visit through its collection of modern masterpieces. Continue to one of Sydney’s grandest historic estates — Vaucluse House for a self-guided tour. Nestled amongst lush gardens, this 19th-century harbourside mansion offers a glimpse into the lives of early colonial gentry. Next, we head to Watson’s Bay where you’ll have free time to purchase lunch and enjoy the sea views before returning to the hotel mid-afternoon for rest.

Performed under the stars on Sydney Harbour’s floating stage, it promises to be an unforgettable experience.
