Highly recommended.
Stayed for four days over a weekend. Great vibe, heaps of cafes, wine bars, atmosphere. Stunning architecture and the fabulous Sydney Harbour Bridge. Brilliant markets on weekends. Walking distance to Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and CBD outskirts. It’s busy but not overly so, enough to always have people around and atmosphere. I felt very safe walking around at night. Highly recommend staying here as a base.
A special thank you to Leila, who set everything up for us. She was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It was clear how much care and effort she put into creating a memorable experience for our family.
We highly recommend Graze and Gaze to anyone looking for a beautiful picnic setup and exceptional service. Thank you, Leila, for helping us create such wonderful memories!
I loved the contrast here: on one side you see the historic warehouses and heritage streets, and on the other side there is the modern city skyline, the Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay and the sparkling water. It is a wonderful area for photography, especially on a clear blue day.
The Rocks is easy to explore on foot. You can wander slowly, look at the old architecture, stop for coffee, visit the markets on the weekend, or enjoy lunch or dinner in one of the pubs or restaurants. It is also very close to Circular Quay, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, so it fits perfectly into a Sydney itinerary.
What I enjoyed most was the character of the place. The Rocks does not feel like just another tourist spot. It feels alive — historic, charming, busy, but still full of little details. Even a simple walk here can become a beautiful Sydney experience.
A must-visit area if you want to see not only the famous harbour views, but also the older, more atmospheric side of Sydney.
The picnic styling was stunning and exactly what we had envisioned.
It made the whole day feel so effortless for us. The team was so easy to deal with and incredibly accommodating throughout. We last minute asked to extend our booking by another 30mins and it was no problem at all!
Highly recommend for any special occasion!
There are some of the oldest buildings in Sydney, including the oldest pub, and lots of vibrant restaurants, bars and tourist shops.
A short walk away is the iconic Circular Quay and Harbour front.
A special thank you to Leila, who was such a lovely and warm person to deal with. She went above and beyond, even helping us take photos which made the whole experience even more special and stress-free.
Also, a huge thank you to the person managing Instagram messages — every single question I had was answered so patiently and promptly. The communication throughout the whole process was amazing.
Everything was delivered and set up smoothly without any issues. Truly such a seamless and beautiful experience. Highly recommend Gaze and Graze for any special occasion — they made our Valentine’s Day unforgettable 🤍
Sarah was truly exceptional, kind, attentive. You can feel how much love and care she puts into her work
Thank you, Sarah, for this magical moment ✨
Tout était parfait, du début à la fin.
Merci infiniment 🤍
Leila really helped make today special for my wife, approachable and attentive. Couldn’t have picked a better spot to celebrate her birthday.
Thank you so much for providing the experience for us today.
We chose Kirribilli spot and Leila set up our picnic in the best spot with Opera House ,city skyline and Harbour Bridge as our view. She also capture lovely moments of us.
Me and my wife love it!!
👍👍👍
Even accompanied wet weather occasion with a gazebo.
Graze & Gaze went above and beyond, I cannot recommend them enough 😊
Laura was always quick to respond and went out of her way to source anything additional I requested that wasn't on the standard menu such as Aperol Spritzes and non-alcoholic beer! It was also extremely hot on the day of our event and Laura helped with sourcing some additional large umbrellas for us to make sure we had enough shade. The set up looked even better than I could have imagined and everyone in our team commented on how great the idea and execution by Graze & Gaze was.
I will definitely be using Graze & Gaze again and would recommend them to anyone who is thinking about hosting a group picnic. Thanks Laura and team!
A little shout-out to Sarah, who took care of us ! friendly, helpful and lovely from start to finish. Not forgetting Laura and Leila, who were just as lovely.
Thank you again, we loved it 🤍
For our friend’s birthday, we surprised her with a Graze & Gaze picnic at Observatory Hill, and it truly exceeded anything we imagined. None of us had tried something like this before, and we all agreed it was worth every cent. Everything was organised seamlessly, and Leila was incredibly warm, attentive, and captured amazing photos for us. We’ll definitely book again on our next trip to Sydney!
From the moment we arrived, I was amazed by how private and beautifully decorated everything was. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and every detail was so perfectly arranged.
The view was absolutely stunning — we could see both the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House right in front of us. It was so romantic and picturesque, unlike anywhere else.
I had no idea I was going to be proposed to, but with the surprise, the atmosphere, and everything around us, it turned into one of the most emotional and happiest moments of my life.
I truly recommend this place to everyone — it’s simply magical! 💕
Manuella did an amazing job.
She was very helpful and super friendly.
Everything was made soo easy.
We then met Nawel at Blues Point, she set up the picnic with absolute perfection.
Me and my Mrs had a beautiful picnic with amazing food and a stunning view.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxury picnic. Good work Graze and Gaze
Iconic architecture First off, the architecture is incredible. The sails of the Opera House are a masterpiece, and the view from the harbor is stunning. It’s definitely a spot you have to check off your list when in Sydney.However, I felt that the actual experience didn’t live up to the hype. I went on a guided tour, and while the guide was knowledgeable, the tour itself was fairly short and didn’t cover as much as I expected for the price. I also wish there was more access to the inner spaces — a lot of areas are off-limits unless you're attending a performance.
Speaking of performances, I didn’t catch one during my visit, but tickets seemed pretty expensive, so I opted out. It’s clear that the Opera House is a major cultural hub, but for tourists just passing through, I found it a bit touristy and commercialized.
All in all, it’s worth a visit for the photos and the architecture, but don’t expect a deep or immersive experience unless you’re really into the arts and willing to pay for a show.
Not worth it The tour only showed the two concert halls with a bit of history thrown in. The tour did not take us to the famous aborigine painting. Not good value for moneyWe bought our tickets just inside the Opera House. The process was smooth, and the staff was friendly. Our guide was fantastic—passionate and articulate—clearly conveying the rich history and fascinating stories behind this iconic landmark.
The views from the Opera House are truly unique!
After the tour, we were thrilled to discover that we could purchase discounted tickets for a performance of "La Bohème" because of our earlier tour. This was a delightful bonus! The opera itself was a stellar experience, making our visit even more memorable.
I travelled alone, but it really doesn't matter, with a very engaging and informative guide (Tim) and many opportunities to ask questions, take photos etc along the way.
