Definitely request a harbour view room when you book! It's worth the extra cost. The higher the floor, the better, obviously.

Honestly, I found just hanging out on my balcony with a glass of wine was the best way to soak it all in. Total peace and quiet, and the Opera House lights up beautifully at night.
