Mother's Day

11 May 2025

It's that special time of year where we get to show our amazing mums and mother figures how much we love them. And what better place to do that than in beautiful Darling Harbour?

Whether it's a delicious brunch overlooking the sparkling harbour at Cafe Del Mar, or something a little fancier like a High Tea at Novotel Sydney Darling Square.

Or, if mum deserves a little pampering, why not indulge her in a spa treatment, manicure & pedicure, or haircut?

Still short on ideas for the perfect Mother's Day gift? For the mum who loves to be outdoors gift her an annual Friends of the Garden membership for the Chinese Garden of Friendship!
