Getting Here

Mrs Macquarie's Point is located at the tip of the Royal Botanic Gardens. It is best accessed via Mrs Macquaries Road.

Where We Will Meet You

Your Graze & Gaze host will meet you on the grassy slope facing the Opera House, approximately 50m west of the "Chair" landmark. Look for our signature picnic setup.

Parking Advice

Metered parking is available along Mrs Macquaries Road, but it fills up extremely quickly on weekends. We strongly recommend using a rideshare service (Uber) to drop you directly at the point.
