Located just 7km from the Sydney CBD making it the closest beach to the city, Bondi Beach is without doubt one of Australia?s best-known icons. It?s widely renowned for the golden arc of sand and clear blue waters which have made it an internationally popular destination and a desirable and trendy lifestyle address.
Bondi Beach is contained within the greater Bondi area, which also encompasses the suburb of North Bondi which is home to the famous Ben Buckler peninsula. The dramatic Bondi to Bronte walk along the oceanfront cliffs is loved by residents and visitors alike.
Bondi Beach has continued to become increasingly upgraded and affluent. Architecturally it?s home to plenty of Art Deco apartments along the beachfront and Federation and 1930s semis and freestanding homes further back from the beach. A growing array of new luxury apartment buildings have been built to cater to buyers keen for a prime ocean view.
The Icebergs swimming club is Australia?s oldest swimming club and one of the area?s premier icons. Retaining the famous sea pool, it?s been redeveloped to incorporate Icebergs Dining Room, one of Sydney?s top restaurants. Bondi?s caf? culture is part of its appeal, with plenty of laidback places to breakfast or lunch and great coffee to be found everywhere. It?s also become quite a retail destination, with a number of interesting and eclectic boutiques dotted around its streets, with Gould Street forming the main shopping hub.
