Clodeli has a great, relaxed vibe with plenty of natural light flowing in. The coffee is superb and so is the food. We would recommend giving the pancakes a try if that’s what you’re into. They also do a simple, yet mouth-watering bacon & egg roll.

It is widely considered as the best bread in Sydney and we'd have to agree! Iggy’s specialises in sourdough, whole-wheat and rye bread. These staples usually run off the shelves before 11am, so get in early. Check out their Instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/iggysbakery/?hl=en

Drinks & Nightlife
The DOG is your craft beer heaven. You can enjoy a cold beverage in the courtyard on a balmy summer’s night. If you’re hungry, there’s a great gastropub-style menu or you can head upstairs to Duke’s Bistro and grab a seat on the outside balcony and watch the world go by.

Trendy, health-conscious Sydneysiders head to laid-back cafes around Hall Street, while hip backpackers frequent the area's casual pubs. Walkers and joggers use the clifftop Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, with its dramatic scenery.

Not many tourists, or even Sydneysiders for that matter, know about Wylie's Baths. Head to Wylie's Baths and after a refreshing swim, lay on a comfortable massage bed and enjoy the relaxing effect of trained, skilfull hands while listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean...

Coogee Beach appeals to both swimmers and surfers, and the ocean pools cut into the headlands are popular with families. There are laid-back pubs and bars on the beachfront, while the surrounding streets are filled with alfresco cafes. There are dramatic ocean views along the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk and nearby Gordon’s Bay has snorkelling trails and rich marine life to be explored.

Arts & Culture
Eugene Tan takes stunning photos of the ocean, the beach, surfers and more. Most are of Bondi, Bronte and the local area. If you make it to Bondi, his gallery is well worth a visit...you may even pick up a few pieces. Check out the Aquabumps gallery on Instragram here: https://www.instagram.com/aquabumps/?hl=en

Parks & Nature
This big park is made up of beautiful lawns scattered with ponds and trees. Keep your eyes peeled for horses during the day and thousands of flying foxes—giant bats—around sunset. There’s a flat 3.7-kilometre loop that goes around Grand Drive, but there are loads of cross routes which make for some lovely morning and evening walks.
