Bondi to Coggee Costal Walk

A cliff top coastal walk, the Bondi to Coogee walk extends for six km in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The walk features stunning views, beaches, parks, cliffs, bays and rock pools. The beaches and parks offer a place to rest, swim or a chance to eat at one of the cafes, hotels, restaurants 

Watsons Bay

You can do the lighthouse hike and then have a drink of grab lunch at the Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel. The terrace is very fun and chic so its nice to be well dress then grab the ferry back to the city (Circular Quay) and see the city lights. 

The Opera Bar

The bar at the Sydney Opera House is so nice to grab a seat and grab a drink or two before dinner on a night out. You have an amazing view to the Opera House and the bridge. Highly recommended. 

Circular Quay

The Opera House and the bar with amazing views and Botanical Gardens area. The ferry to Manly and other beaches leave from here.

The Rocks/Barangaroo: Area with cool restaurants

Surry Hills: Incredible area, a ton of good restaurants and stores for shopping.

Alexandria: The Gardens of Alexandria, good place for breakfast, a bit of a tourist trap but cool. The most instagramable.

Museum of Contemporary Art in Circular Quay

WHERE TO STAY

Airbnb in Bondi Beach.

If you are looking to stay in Bondi Beach I would highly recommend this one. Location, location, location. It is located on Gould St, a block away from the beach and all the cafes and things to do in Bondi. It’s very affordable, clean and we enjoyed it very much.

EXTRA HIGHLIGHTS/TIPS AROUND AUSSIE:

Hamilton Island

We stayed at the Beach Club Hotel! Had the freaking most amazing dinner at the Coco Chu Restaurant, it is very casual, but seriously so delicious!

We had booked a tour for the Fun Seeker Sea Plane which takes to on a scenic ride to Whitehaven beach but it got canceled due to weather, although the Helicopter tours did fly that day. So I would recommend that for a little bit safer bet to book a Helicopter Tour instead.

Byron Bay

Combi: peanut butter acai bowl is delicious, the snicker bar is amazing and the vegan sand which is very tasty too!!!

Bay Leaf Cafe: our favorite brunch spot, so good we went there 3 times. Ordered the Soft Scramble breekie plate twice and the coconut cold brew and fresh chai latte is amazing.

The Farm at Byron Bay: nice to have dinner, outdoor seating is great with live music. 

Elixiba: vegan, delicious food, seriously worth checking out vegan or not. 

Santos Organics: organic and grocery store for quick healthy treats and snacks. Perfect to pick up some fruit, dips and chips for a picnic at the beach and park.

Melbourne:

Darling Cafe: Cute cafe with delicious food, I was told the date pancakes are to die for but we were so full after our meal we weren’t able to try it! 

Embla: very chic cool place to have dinner!! 

Smoothme Superfood Bar: Delicious acai bowls and all the healthy treats!! 

Tipo 00: italian, closed on sundays 

Chin Chin: hip and cool for a fun night out

Mr. Miyagi: Salmon taco a must
