🏷️ Character

Bondi Beach

Australia's most famous beach, where surf culture meets café society. The coastal walk, weekend markets, and year-round outdoor lifestyle make this an icon of Sydney living.

Manly

Seven miles from Sydney, a thousand miles from care. The ferry ride, ocean beach, and Corso create a seaside town atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city.
