If you are seeking a luxe option Southern Ocean Lodge is the place for you (in our opinion Australia’s number 1 lodge) or if you like to be a bit more independent rent a luxurious beach house such as Decoudie Beach House, Kangaroo Beach Lodges or Sky House at LifeTime Private Retreats (one of our personal favourites).

Take a sail on Sydney Harbour

Hire a luxury cruiser to take in the sights of Sydney! Make sure you also include a lunch at Icebergs on a sunny summer day overlooking famous Bondi beach, perhaps take a private surf lesson, return to your room to freshen up at the Park Hyatt Sydney which offers amazing views of the Harbour, later that evening see a show at the Sydney Opera House; an action packed Sydney stay (and don’t forget to climb the Harbour Bridge).
