Things To Do
The Newport
Great spot for family and friends. Relaxed atmosphere in a garden setting, the location is amazing overlooking Pittwater from an elevated view. The Newport is a large establishment and has plenty of different options for eating and drinking and although it was very busy you will have no problem getting a table.
The Grounds of Alexandria
Its a trendy city market place. The place was really nice to sit around and chill. Coffee was very good too. The food was not awesome but decent. The surroundings are great for photo-taking. *There is no reservation, just try to come on weekdays, they are really busy on weekend.
Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Tours
It offers more than just premium fine wines, gourmet delights and a beautiful vineyard setting. In the Hunter Valley, there is so much to explore. Tour the famous Gardens, visit the zoo, unwind with a round of golf, and indulge in cheese or chocolate. Relax and be pampered in a spa or seek out the galleries and local artisans products. For the adventurous, cycle or go horse riding at sunset, or take to the air in a hot air balloon, sky dive or a joy flight. The Hunter Valley is surrounded by untouched natural landscape and beautiful scenery where you can go bush walking, four wheel driving, or mountain biking.
Barangaroo

Paddington
iscover the delights of Paddington, from designer boutiques to the iconic Paddington Markets, wonderful galleries and beautifully restored heritage pubs. Sophisticated and creative, this inner Sydney neighbourhood is where style meets taste, with the enticing Intersection and a delicious range of restaurants and cafes.
Bondi Beach
Get up early for a stroll along the famous beach or go for an invigorating morning swim before breakfast at one of the cafés on Campbell Parade. You’ll find public showers on the beach to wash off the salt after a swim in the ocean. Enjoy the views along the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk. Play nine holes at Bondi Golf Club. In October and November, join the crowds at Sculpture by the Sea, an outdoor exhibition of artworks along a 2 km coastal walk. Buy takeaway fish and chips on Campbell Parade and enjoy them at the beach. Sip cocktails at Icebergs as the Sun sets over the ocean.
Blue Mountains
See the Three Sisters rock formation from Echo Point Lookout at Katoomba; it’s also the gateway to many walking trails. Board the world’s steepest passenger railway and descend into an ancient rainforest with Scenic World Blue Mountains. Or get a panoramic view of the mountains from a glass-floored cable car suspended above a steep gorge.
Restaurant Hubert
Food is always so bang on perfect! I highly recommend ordering the escargot, steak Tarter & steak frites. If you are lucky you can try the Duck à l'orange. Their wine selection is great and definitely end your dining experience with their dessert! however unfortunately, no booking is allowed! Except for groups of 5 or more i think. But definitely worth the line up!
Ester Restaurant
Simple yet flavorful contemporary, seasonal cuisine using local Australian produce. There's the set menu if you're not sure how to decide, but otherwise there's the ala carte menu. Roasted oysters, hanger steak was really good. Desserts weren't their strong suit though. *Please book ahead
Chat Thai
One of the best Thai restaurant in Sydney, you have to try Chat thai's cakwe with green pandan custard and their pork dishes. *Please come early especially on dinner time, they have a very long queue. They do have some other branches around CBD Area, located on George Street & Campbell Street but have to check on their opening hours.
Vic's Meat Market
A meat eaters heave! Big serves, big flavour! A little hidden treasure in the midst of the fish markets.The brisket and pulled pork sandwiches are delicious. Burnt ends so rich and tender. Get there early on the weekends for lunch as it gets very busy.
