Places to stay in Bondi
Adina Apartment Hotel Bondi Beach
If you’ve always fancied owning a place by the beach, the Adina’s Apartment Hotel comes pretty close to living that dream. Fill up your fruit bowl with juicy berries from Harris Farm Markets downstairs; grab a coffee from the Nine around the corner; and pick up a bunch of native flowers from the Farmers Markets, and you’ll pass as a local in no time. But location isn’t the only perk: each apartment is so well equipped that you could host a dinner party and pretend it’s your home address. The onebedroom apartments each have a full sized oven, dishwasher, fridge and washing machines. But the best part is that you’re not at home! These are serviced apartments after all, and so should you request fresh towels or a takeaway meal from Bills (also just downstairs) they’ll happily arrange all that for you. Borrow one of the hotel’s Lekker bikes, free of charge, and explore North Bondi’s eateries, or sign up for a class at Let’s Go Surfing and park your bike at the shop. Bondi Beach and Icebergs pool are a short walk away, and Adina has its own lap pool and spa. Time Out stayed courtesy of Adina Apartment Hotel.
