Luxury Glamping Seascape

Driving toward our romantic getaway we got glimpses of the shimmering ocean filtered between the tree-lined streets. This was the perfect preview of our weekend in Sydney's Northern beaches.

Walking up the bush track to our accommodation we were pleasantly surprised by how impressive this site was. The tent was glamorously appointed and felt luxurious. Falling asleep to the soothing sounds of nature and waking up to the beautiful view of the water made for a peaceful and calming weekend.

Relaxing, lying back in the bath, enjoying a short stroll to the beach and drinking wine on the balcony were highlights of our stay. The location was ideal for exploring the nearby beach towns with a must-do being the walk to Barrenjoey Lighthouse at sunrise.

This one-hour return walk is worth it for the views over Palm Beach and Broken Bay. Take the Barrenjoey track for a gradual climb to the top or if you want a quicker challenge, take Smuggles Track. It is a great spot to see the area and watch the sunrise.

Palm Beach is the setting for Summer Bay in the Australian soap opera 'Home & Away'. It doesn't matter if you are a fan or not, it's still a stunning beach to take a stroll or go for a swim.

The perfect spot to relax, watch the sunset, listen to live music, and sip delicious cocktails. Great for lunch or dinner with awesome wood fire pizza.

This converted US postal truck turned coffee shop is parked on the South Avalon Headland everyday at dawn. This spot was buzzing with locals who come to watch the sunrise whilst enjoying a delicious coffee.
