Catch a ferry from Double Bay to the City to experience the harbour at its best. You can walk to Double Bay Wharf from The Studio, it's all down hill. Ride the ferry to the City and pass some of Sydney's most beautiful homes. If you really want to experience the harbour, transfer to the Manly ferry and spend the afternoon at Manly Beach.
