Things to do this Weekend in Sydney
1. Check out a New Café
Bronte's brunch scene just got a little brighter with the addition of vegetarian café, Pilgrims Bronte. The team have launched with a 'preview' of their famed menu. With the sample takeaway menu offering up the most popular, vegetarian items – including fresh, sumptuous and wholesome burgers, wraps and bowls.
2. Book a Remote, Rural Escape
Between catching up on the news, scrolling through social feeds, answering emails and browsing the web…we’re constantly on, and always available. More and more Sydneysiders are choosing to disconnect and ditch the gadgets on their holidays and really relax and recharge. And with regional travel across NSW now open from June 1st, now is the perfect time to book in a remote escape.
Sound dreamy? We’ve rounded up the best tiny cabins to book around New South Wales. They’re remote and beautiful, and have little to no mobile phone coverage – and some don’t have WiFi, either!
3. Stay Informed
This time next week we will see stage two of restrictions eased. To help you know what you can and can't do we've put together a quick guide to the new restrictions.

4. Indulge in a Burger
When it comes to crowd-pleasing comfort food, there’s nothing more satisfying than a juicy burger. Whether it’s stacked with succulent beef patties or brimming with veggie delights, a classic hamburger ticks every box. Lucky for you, Sydney has plenty of patty-flipping burger joints dedicated to the all-American classic. So, for next time the cravings hit, we’ve rounded up the best burgers in Sydney. You are welcome.
5. Book a Staycation
Just because international travel is off the cards, doesn't mean you can't enjoy being a tourist in your own city. Why not treat yourself to the ultimate Sydney staycation by booking a night at the glamorous Four Seasons Hotel?
The unbeatable view of Sydney Harbour, along with the luxe atmosphere of Four Seasons Sydney, will make this a stay you'll never forget. Make a night of it by heading downstairs for dinner and drinks at the sleek, chef-hatted restaurant, Mode Kitchen & Bar.
