5 minutes walk from the house. The Israeli inspired menu (breakfast, lunch and dinners) is fantastic. The restaurant is modern and bright. The staff are always friendly and professional. Get there early on week ends!

You'll need a car to get there. Palmy -famous as the location of Home and Away sitcom- is a beautiful beach. Check out the lighthouse- go for a swim on the ocean or harbor side- there is a little bit for everyone. Take a picnic or eat there. There is quite a good selection of restaurants nearby- from the trendy Boathouse to the Baranjoey House on the Harbour or Dunes on the Ocean Beach.

Probably the best way to see it is to find someone with a (sail) boat or to rent one (https://www.eastsail.com.au/) If you're not connected or don't have budget/ can't sail- the easy option is the Manly Ferry- departs from circular quay.
