Campbells Cove

Historic Rocks precinct pickup at the base of the Bridge

📍 The Rocks 🌉 Bridge Backdrop 🏛 Historic Precinct

Campbells Cove sits at the base of the Harbour Bridge, between the Park Hyatt and the Overseas Passenger Terminal. The Rocks precinct surrounds — sandstone buildings, cobbled lanes, walking distance to Circular Quay and the Opera House.
