Run by two Colombian brothers, Camillo and Peter, El Indio has amazing Colombian food with a great, relaxed but intimate atmosphere. Our favourite dish is the Ghandi Arepa, but you can't go wrong with any of the dishes.

Just 30m down the road from our apartment, we are possibly too-regular regulars at Bondi Tony's. Bondi Tony's is a hamburger restaurant with an amazing atmosphere and even better food! We love the Trippin Zeahorse, but everything on the menu is great.

The Neighbourhood is a local pub that serves great food and good beer. The staff are really fun too. We often go on a Tuesday night for trivia and all you can eat wings. They have a hamburger special on a Monday as well which is also delicious - the one burger in Bondi that will rival Bondi Tony's.

Sightseeing
Head to Ben Buckler early to watch the sunrise, you will not be disappointed! It's beautiful watching the sun come up over the horizon.
You can also escape some of the madness of Bondi Beach and head to the rocks on Ben Buckler to sunbathe or snorkel - in summer there are huge schools of fish to see. You can jump in off the rocks and swim back in through the boat ramp to be safe.

The best place to watch the sunrise is from the war memorial monument in Williams Park/The North Bondi Golf Course. Enter through off Military Rd, just below the intersection with Blair St. Walk up the road and behind the memorial to get unobstructed views of the sunrise (and fewer people than Ben Buckler) and spectacular views up the coastline

Follow the path on from Bondi beach to discover the beautiful coastal walk. The full walk is quite long, we often head to Tamarama beach or Bronte for coffee by the beach before coming back.

Consejos sobre la ciudad
Cómo moverse
No need to buy an opal card
You no longer need to buy an Opal card (transport ticket) to use buses, trains and ferries. You can tap on and off using a visa or mastercard.
Cómo moverse
Getting to Manly from Bondi
To save time, instead of going into the city and getting a ferry from Circular Quay, get the bus to Watsons bay and take the fast ferry across from there. It's worth getting the ferry from Manly back to Circular Quay though for the views.
