Travel offer: Sydney
Mild, mellow winter in Sydney– July, August, September – is the perfect time to enjoy its outdoorsy lifestyle. And this year, an island campsite has opened in the middle of Sydney Harbour! You’ll soon relax into the pace: choosing from 50-plus white sand beaches for your morning stroll, taking stunning boat trips, and dining alfresco on Asian-influenced cuisine…
New boutique hotel the Diamant (doubles from £76, room only; diamant.com.au) lies between the city’s coolest neighbourhoods, Darlinghurst and Kings Cross. It’s taken an urban vibe – check out the 42in TVs in the bedrooms, and the invitation to “flick an email” to its concierge for itinerary ideas. Penny’s Lane restaurant is already a local favourite.
For a new way to view the iconic Harbour Bridge and Opera House, hop on a seaplane (about £75pp; seaplanes.com.au). Take in 2009’s Darwin exhibitions at the Royal Botanic Gardens (rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au) and visit the historic Rocks area, which is great for boutique browsing.
