Bondi, NSW 2026

Bondi has a name that has grown in stature over the years. One of Sydney's best surf beaches and most definitely one of the most popular. People visit Bondi Beach in their droves, especially the New Zealanders.

Real estate in Bondi is now very expensive and it attracts the rich and wealthy. There are no end of eateries, cafés, fine dining restaurants and bars along the front and up the streets of Bondi.

The beach is spectacular, not overly long by northern coast standards, but the beach area is wide and even on a busy day you can find a spot to sit. Very much the beach for the body beautifuls.

Both ends of the beach have a protected pool and at the northern end there is a children's wading pool.

There are highrise apartments along the front and on the hills at either end of the beach. From these apartments you would get fabulous views across the beach and beyond.

Bondi is the desired spot for locals and holiday makers alike. People from the west of Sydney will make the trip across to Bondi for the day, that is how popular it is.

Bondi, a world-renowned beach suburb in Sydney, offers a captivating blend of coastal beauty, vibrant energy, and cultural richness. My visit to Bondi was a delightful experience that exceeded expectations in every aspect. The iconic Bondi Beach, with its golden sands and azure waters, presents a postcard-perfect setting for sunbathing, surfing, or simply strolling along the promenade. The lively atmosphere, with beachside cafes, street performers, and locals soaking up the sun, creates an infectious sense of joy and relaxation.

Beyond the beach, Bondi boasts a thriving arts and dining scene. The Bondi Pavilion hosts art exhibitions, workshops, and live performances, showcasing the area's creative flair. From trendy eateries serving up fresh seafood to cozy bars offering craft cocktails with a view, Bondi's culinary offerings are diverse and enticing. Exploring the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk was another highlight, offering breathtaking coastal vistas, hidden coves, and the opportunity to soak in Sydney's natural beauty.

What truly made my visit to Bondi memorable was the sense of community and inclusivity. Whether chatting with locals at the Bondi Farmers Market, joining a yoga class by the beach, or simply people-watching at Campbell Parade, I felt a genuine warmth and welcoming vibe. Bondi's blend of natural splendor, cultural vibrancy, and friendly atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the best of Sydney's coastal lifestyle.

overrated lived here for two years. to crowded and traffic jams constantly. Great dining but thats about it.

Love Bondi although it’s getting a bit expensive now

Very very beautiful 🤩

Bondi is known world wide and for great reasons! Walking around Bondi is a sure way to lift your mood. Everyone is always in a good mood, active and positive. Even on a gloomy day, it is magical to watch rain and storms roll through. It has something for everyone!

It is very love and so much fun the beach is so refreshing and wonderful

Latte sippers, rude, arrogant

Bondi used to be great but now its over crowded and filled with people are rude and obnoxious. Ive noticed I cant even walk down Blair st to get the shops without some rude narcacistic moron speeding up behind me to push me out of the way on the foot path or making some rude comment as they walk past. The boomers are really entitled around here too and little 12 year olds push and shove you at the shops. Its like people never got taught manners but then these rude shits will try to teach you manners if you call them out on it. Its easy to get a bad attitude around here towards people they’re that rude and you will start disliking people.

Plus the real estate is expensive its $600 for a 1 bedroom that doesnt even have a balcony and arent modern homes.

You go out and have all your wanna be kendal jenner or hailey beibers who boast about their YSL bags and women in their 50s that look like Yzma from emperors new grove because they have had way too much plastic surgery and their botox is sagging. Dont even get me started on the vegan hipsters.

I’ve lived in bondi for 6 years for work reasons. I hate the place. The traffic is horrible. The food is horrible and its priced as if Jamie Oliver made it. there’s no cosy or homeliness or character that other Sydney suburbs seem to have.

The beach is bad.. the sand banks rarely offer good surf, I’d give it an honest rating as the worst surfing beach I’ve ever seen by a long way. The fishing here is terrible no surprise.

The culture: there is none. bondi has no identity, it’s trying to be other places all at once. Theres lots of tourist and visitors permanently. there’s not really a community vibe here, if you search hard you can find one but it’s nothing compared to the rest of sydney. I feel like some of bondi is trying to pretend to be Orange County meets rich housewives and the other half is trying to pretend it’s a bushland surf town off the princess highway when it’s really just a brick eyesore where the city of Sydney dumps it’s sewage.

Miscellaneous Facts

Bondi Beach offers FREE Wifi

Bondi is a beach suburb in Sydney, not far from the city. Excellent public transport, huge shopping centre at Bondi junction, great mix of people and everyone is in a relaxed mood.

I love coming to visit this place, the famous iceburgs where people swim all around the calender year even in the dead of winter, nice pubs, casual and formal dining as well a steady value in realestate, this suburb does not seem to have massive fluctuations in valules, just steady reliable increases and there is always loads of people at open hosues for properties for sale and rent.

The down side is you have to pay for parking if you live out of the area and it is expensive, no such thing as a free swim at this Aussie beach anymore, but if your a local then you are more than likely happy with this as you can walk everywhere and probably welcome less traffic.

An easy commute to the City, close to Randwick races, plenty of schools, a great Aussie suburb

Awesome innit.... beach, sand, surf!!! and cafes, nightlife...

Only thing bad is the traffic caused by people like m that come to visit

Bondi is consisted of people from all over the world that live in harmony together. Great place.

Walking distance to beach and cafe's. Conveniently postioned in between world famous Bondi Beach and the buzz of Bondi cafe's and shopping centre.

Fantastic location, people. Close to all local amenities.

Bondi is in the heart of Sydney's eastern suburbs. A magical place to raise a family, surf, and cafe lifestyle. Great overall. 10/10

Bondi is an amazing suburb nestled between the beach and the junction. Truely outsiding lifestyle area. Minutes stroll to the beach or the shops.

I grew up in Bondi and lived there for 30 years. I moved out because of the constant influx of euro-trash every summer. The beach itself is one of the worst beaches in Sydney. Try the Northern Beaches - so much prettier!!

Famous Bondi Beach!! This is one of my most favourite beaches by far!

I have spent my life in Bondi. Born and raised in the Eastern Suburbs, Bondi is the greatest place to raise a family. Great people, surf, lifestyle. Central to both Bondi Beach and Bondi Junction.
