Sunday nights at the Clovelly hotel are iconic amongst Eastern Suburbs locals. A lazy late lunch followed by a few drinks and a band - a great start or end to the week however you look at it.

The view from the balcony is spectacular - looking straight across Arden St onto Coogee Beach and Wedding Cake Island. Drinks are cheap, service is fast and friendly.

This place has had a major facelift in recent times, it has good from outdated and shabby to current and chic, it has a very beachy atmosphere great for a Sunday afternoon beer or wine. The menu is really affordable too.

Situated in Double Bay this boutique style beauty clinique is very good but quite pricey. They use products that are free from bad chemicals and much better for you. Good service.

Excellent after work bar for inner city dwellers, the place is small and classy, the service is friendly and the vibe is great. Drinks are a little on the pricey end of the scale.

Great unpretentious, affordable, and friendly place selling good home style food. Nothing better than a hot bowl of creamy pumpkin soup with country style bread on a cold Sydney day. This place has been around forever and hopefully sticks around forever.

Small take-away in Miami serving Brazilian foods - rice and beans, pastel, churros and more. The caramel filled churros are really good. Friendly and quick service. Located behind Zarrafas Coffee Shop.

Approximate cost: $5-10

Unique lounge style cafe in the Nobby Beach cafe/shop strip. I've only been for lunch and had a great bacon and egg toastie plus coffee for just $8.95! Bargain. But they have live music on during the evenings and other events like Trivia.

Awesome local produce, arts and crafts, fashion, jewellery, and the usual market fair. The quality is great and the atmosphere is very Margaret River - casual and relaxed. They run regularly so have a look at the website for dates.

We stayed here at Easter time and had a great stay, a powered site cost us somewhere between $20-$30 per night, I can't quite remember. They had everything you need to be comfortable camping, good shower facilities, BBQ's and a small pool. Best of all is the location it's so close to beaches and walking distance to all the cafes and shops.

Approximate cost: $20-30 for a powered site
