The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Central Business District
The Sydney Central Business District is abuzz with energy. Power brokers run to and from high rise buildings and after-work drink places, high-end shoppers tour venues like the QVB, and fine diners frequent the many celebrity chef restaurants. For a dose of culture, walk to the NSW Art Gallery, or visit the Sydney Museum. To escape the hustle and bustle, reconnect with nature at the Sydney Botanical Gardens or picnic lunch at High Park. No matter your interest, be sure to check the full calendar of events hosted by the city, from the Sydney Festival in January to October’s Good Food Month at Hyde Park.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A highlight of our trip!
Nov. 2023 • Couples
Opals are my favorite and I’ve been wanting to learn more about them for a long time. So when I read about this place a visit here became a priority.

I was delighted to not only watch the process of selecting and polishing a stone but to be an active participant in the process. I am going home with a treasured souvenir and a lovely piece of jewelry as well as newfound appreciation of all the hard work that goes into uncovering the beauty of these stones.

Thanks to Jason and all the staff at Australian Opal Cutters for a fun and educational experience. If you like opals and you’re in Sidney, don’t miss this!

Prami was patient and spent the time educating us on Opal. We gained knowledge and had a great experience with Prami. Low pressure purchasing.

Always great to be back at Opal Cutters!
Nov. 2023 • Couples
I visited Opal Cutters with my parents to buy gifts for our friends. After Giovanni sat down with us, we felt incredibly looked after. He helped us from beginning to end - he was incredibly funny, sweet and gave us a great price! We felt very lucky to have him serve us. It is always good to say hello to Jason too and the rest of the team, who are incredibly warm and welcoming. I have been to opal cutters a few times now and I will definitely return. They have the best opals, the price is right and the service is excellent!
