Tried this only recently and were pleasantly surprised. We expected a great view ( which it has) but didnt realise that it is a renovated club which is pleasantly decorated and very fresh looking. Really enjoyed our afternoon drink there and the club style food ( ie burgers and chips) looked good.

Head down past the Bondi Icebergs and follow the crowds to Bronte - a wonderful walk along the coast showcasing the beaches of Tamarama and Bronte. If you are feeling energetic, keep going to Coogee via Clovelly, have lunch at the Coogee Pavillion and uber home.

Famous for the Gap, the opening of Sydney Harbour - you'll be on South Head and have views of North Head across the harbour. Great spot for sightseeing, lunch at the Watsons Bay Pub and then the option to catch a ferry into Sydney, seeing the Bridge and the Opera House from a ferry is a highlight of any Sydney visit.
