Spring's here and it's a wonderful time to get out and explore Sydney! We asked our staff to name some of their favourite spots in Sydney. Here's some of their top recommendations.

Bondi to Bronte Walk

It’s a crime to come to Sydney and not visit Bondi Beach. And what better way to see it than by walking the scenic Bondi to Bronte path? Its combination of beaches, parks and spectacular views make this walk unique. Get some friends together, pack your swimmers and make a day of it!

Spit Bridge to Manly Walk

Catch a bus to the start of Spit Bridge and then get lost in the trees, secret beaches and parks that line this stunning walk. It takes about 3 hours, depending on how often you stop for pictures. Have lunch and a swim at Manly Beach once you’re done.

Kayaking around Floating Forest

In 1972, a 102 year-old war ship used during WWII was brought to Homebush Bay in Sydney. 41 years later, the SS Ayrfield has transformed into a floating forest where you can spend some time kayaking.

Eat at the Bodhi Restaurant

A great outdoor restaurant directly under St Mary's Cathedral. Even the biggest diehard meat eaters go crazy for it once they experience it. The amount of flavour packed into each dish is just unbelievable, and the atmosphere at night is just gorgeous. Mushroom dumplings, 'fake prawn' cocktails, veggie gyozas - they have an endless menu circulating around on trolleys so you can pick and eat. But you can't go past the coconut and burnt caramel sago pudding for dessert. A must try!
