The fun never stops at Hotel Bondi, where a bewildering array of distractions are on offer to guests, from snacking at the Bondi Grill restaurant to partying at the vast open-plan Starfish, Sand or Bombora bars. It may not be cutting-edge, but it’s very convenient – plus there are pool tables, a gaming room, big-screen TVs showing sporting events, two bottle shops, a beer garden and, of course, guest rooms. Many have beach views, others have verandas, and most are en suite with air-conditioning. And fear not: all rooms are soundproofed.
