Ok so this blog will be short and sweet, we stayed in Surfers for 4 nights at a place called Islander, this place is more like a budget hotel than a hostel as the rooms were amazing especially from what we've been used to. we had a balcony where you could see the spa and pool.

We had to find our way to Bondi Beach as we believed that to be where we were staying for the week.
