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.

It was very nice. It was very expensive to the pint of being ridiculously pricey! Most staff were a good a few had a bit of an attitude if they thought you look like you didn’t have money. Overall nice hotel to stay and great location.
