Romantic Aussie honeymoon!

From raw kangaroo to a Bridge climb in under 48 hours!

Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews thrilled Aussies when they popped up Down Under last week on a honeymoon stopover – with a price tag running at close to $38,000! Although their time in Sydney was brief, the newlyweds managed to squeeze in plenty of activities showcasing the best of the harbour city.

After boarding a water taxi with friends, they hopped on a seaplane for a scenic tour over the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the secluded celebrity hot-spot Cottage Point Inn. Owner Ally Olesen says Pippa dined on kangaroo tartare followed by mackerel, while James had duck.

The couple stayed in the penthouse of the five-star Park Hyatt hotel, which comes complete with a 24-hour butler. “I had to do a double-take when she popped her head into the breakfast room briefly to take a peek,” one guest says. “She’d been running and was in a vest. Her arms are incredibly muscly. The pair of them are so bloody fit.”

Pippa found time for a caviar facial at the hotel spa, costing up to $580, and she and James enjoyed a sunset climb of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with a price tag of $378 each, before flying out to Darwin the next morning, where they continued their Aussie getaway.

Just days earlier they’d also enjoyed enviable luxury at The Brando on stunning Tetiaroa atoll in Tahiti, once owned by the late Marlon Brando.
