Sydney - Swissotel, Sydney Eye Tower, Aquarium, Madame Tussaud's, Taronga Zoo with Carol!


While on holidays in Sydney we stayed at the Swissotel Sydney. This 5 star hotel  is located at the end of Pitt Street Mall along Market Street which is about a 5 minute walk to Darling Harbour and a 15 minute walk to the Opera House, Harbour Bridge. 

We stayed in a Classic Room which was spacious and can either have 2 double beds or 1 king bed.  The bathroom is set up with a separate bathtub and walk in shower. The kids thought the heated pool was the best part of the hotel.  And if clients are wanting spa facilities there is Amrita Spa which guests pay direct. The staff were very helpful and friendly.



Everyone must book their clients The Sydney Eye Tower  (Centrepoint) because if you have not been to Sydney this is where your clients will go. We were 250 metres above Sydney’s streets with 360 degree views and could see as far as 80km in any direction. If your clients are not scared of heights add on the Skywalk for an exhilarating outdoor viewing experience.


The Sydney Aquarium (Sea Life) is at Darling Harbour and takes you through different underwater worlds, from Australian river systems to the Great Barrier Reef.  There was so much to see and took us quite a while to get through it, well worth the admission price.



We all had a great time at Madame Tussauds where you interact with the world’s most famous figures in wax. There is something here for everyone from sports, music, film, tv studio, history and world leaders.



Zoo Express is the easy way to visit Taronga Zoo.  The cruise takes you from Darling Harbour or Circular Quay (departs every 45 minutes) with interesting commentary about Sydney along the way. The Sky Safari cable car took us up to the Zoo and once up there the animals at the Zoo would have to have the best views of Sydney city and the harbour. There are animals of every kind (the kids favourites were the Chimpanzees and Gorillas.) The Free Flight Bird Show was amazing as the birds are so well trained and the kids thought the Seal Show was funny.
