Coastal Rock Pools & Bondi

Bondi Backstreets + Icebergs Coastal Walk (Private)

A beautifully paced Bondi experience with a local lens—beginning in the quieter backstreets with design-led boutique stops and neighbourhood detail, then flowing into the iconic Bondi to Coogee coastal walk for cliffs, ocean views and classic Sydney energy. We finish at Bondi Icebergs, with the option of a calm ocean-pool dip if conditions suit, selected on the day for the best and safest swim.

Ideal for: First-time Sydney visitors, guests who want Bondi done properly, and anyone who prefers walking, views and local discovery.

A quieter, more local side of Sydney Harbour

A calm, design-led morning on Sydney’s Lower North Shore — a quieter, more local side of the harbour, reimagined. Centred on an easy ocean-pool swim and a curated walk through harbour foreshore and national parkland, this experience moves at a relaxed, considered pace. Guests can choose a gentle coastal wander or a longer, iconic route such as Spit to Manly for those wanting more distance. Timings and locations are tailored to the guest’s pace and the day’s conditions, with an excellent local coffee to finish.

Ideal for: Jet-lagged arrivals, couples, solo travellers, guests who prefer calmer water, and those wanting a scenic harbour walk at their own pace.
