Sydney Coastal Gems

Highlights

Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey as we explore Sydney’s breathtaking coastline, starting with one of the city’s most iconic walks: the Bondi to Bronte Coastal Path. After soaking in the stunning ocean views, we take a scenic drive to Manly, where we are introduced to the exquisite design of the Boathouse Group with a visit to their stunning Boathouse Café, beautifully nestled on Shelly Beach.

In the afternoon, we continue along the scenic coastal road to our charming accommodation at Barrenjoey House in Palm Beach, which will serve as our “home” for the next four nights. This picturesque location is framed by pristine waters and crowned by the historic Barrenjoey Lighthouse, perched at the northernmost point of the peninsula.

Our days here will include a visit to the breathtaking Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, a place rich in natural beauty and Indigenous history, offering views over Broken Bay, the Hawkesbury River, and Pittwater. As Australia’s second-oldest national park, it features significant Aboriginal rock art and cultural sites. Nearby, Brisbane Water National Park also holds incredible rock engravings and paintings, offering further insight into the area’s ancient history. While there, we’ll enjoy a delightful lunch at the Boathouse Hotel Patonga, taking in the tranquil views across Broken Bay.

Our daily adventures will be made even more special by travelling aboard the historic timber ferries that glide gracefully across Pittwater, providing a relaxing start and finish to each day’s exploration.

For the final four nights of our journey, we’ll indulge in luxury at Bells at Killcare Boutique Hotel, Restaurant, and Spa. If you can tear yourself away from this serene oasis, we’ve planned a series of spectacular coastal walks through the adjoining Bouddi National Park, where the rugged coastline meets lush bushland.

On our final day, we’ll uncover some hidden treasures of Broken Bay with a visit to a local Akoya pearl farm. These sustainably grown pearls are renowned for their exceptional quality, considered among the finest in the world. In the afternoon, we’ll join Tim from Girri Girra for a guided exploration of local bush tucker and medicinal native plants, providing a fascinating insight into the ancient knowledge of Australia’s First Nations peoples, and a unique glimpse into the world’s oldest living culture.

Hotels & Cuisine

Barrenjoey House – Palm Beach

For the first four nights of our journey, we immerse ourselves in the charm and elegance of Barrenjoey House, a local icon steeped in history, recently revitalised by the renowned Boathouse Group. This boutique hotel, located in the picturesque Palm Beach, has been thoughtfully refurbished to combine modern chic with timeless style. Every evening, we savour exquisite dinners that celebrate the best of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, showcasing flavours that are as refined as they are comforting.

Our stay culminates with a relaxed, leisurely lunch at the Patonga Pub, another gem in the Boathouse Group’s portfolio. Set by the water, the pub offers a casual dining experience that pairs perfectly with the coastal vibe, making it the ideal spot to unwind before moving on to our next destination.

Bells at Killcare Boutique Hotel – Central Coast

Our final four nights are spent across Broken Bay at the luxurious Bells at Killcare Boutique Hotel on the Central Coast. Surrounded by lush gardens and national parklands, this tranquil escape offers impeccable service and first-class facilities, including a serene day spa – the perfect indulgence after a day spent exploring the stunning natural landscapes.

Dining at Bells is a true culinary delight, with the hotel’s restaurant serving up seasonal dishes inspired by the Mediterranean. Much of the produce is grown in the hotel’s own vegetable garden, ensuring the freshest ingredients find their way onto our plates each night. On our last evening, we are treated to a special experience with the Chef’s Tasting Menu, a showcase of the kitchen’s finest creations that provides a perfect finale to our unforgettable journey.

On our “Sydney Coastal Gems” journey, minimal driving ensures a relaxed experience as we explore the stunning coastline. Transfers are seamlessly handled in luxurious Mercedes Benz mini vans, offering comfort and style. Additionally, we’ll occasionally hop on local ferries, allowing you to soak in the breathtaking views from the water as we glide along Sydney’s iconic coastline. This blend of road and ferry travel adds to the adventure while keeping the journey serene and enjoyable.
