Tourist Guide

Lovely private beach, a must if up in the Northern Beaches. The light house, not pictured is a great day walk to do as well.

Whale Beach, Sydney. 
I always feel like I'm on holidays when I drive to whale beach. Tranquil when you finally reach it. Visiting the northern beaches is a must do when in Sydney.
Not recommended for swimmers. Surfers proceed with caution.

I had a perfect stay at the hotel. They kindly had my room ready early, it was very clean & a good size. The location couldn’t have been better, less than 5 minutes to the Opera House! The breakfast the next morning was fantastic with lots of choice. I’d definitely stay there again.

Staff were very customer focused especially Alex and Luke and a French girl we didn’t get her name. Room was great except shower was slippery. Breakfast was outstanding and Bell hops were great with our luggage!
