Local Escapes

The Sunseeker

If there’s one thing that should be on your travel bucket list this year, it’s gotta be taking the rite-of-passage road trip from Sydney to Byron Bay to stay at The Sunseeker, a brand new 80s-style brick motel mixed with a whole lot of beach flair.

Cafes

Little Bonny’s Rotisserie

This chicken shop is far from your average go-to take-away from down the street. This bad boy takes its inspo from regional French cooking as well as the old school Aussie chook shop we all know and love #morechickensalt so expect a no-frills approach to probably the most succulent bites around.
Bars & Pubs

Blu Bar on 36

Recognised (and rightly so) as one of Sydney’s best bars, drinkers flock to Blu Bar on 36 for their famed selection of delicious cocktails, tempting nibbles and uninterrupted views.

Aloha Mate

As the name so perfectly suggests, Aloha Mate brings the tropical flavours of Hawaii straight to Aussie shores and just quietly (although it’s already been a hit over the summer) the power couple here have completely nailed it.
