Beach houses are in hot demand at the moment with those keen to live a more relaxed beachside lifestyle that’s synonymous with the 2026 postcode. Now is the perfect time to find your ideal beach house as winter is when the seaside suburbs of Bondi and Tamarama are at their laidback best. With a real scarcity of stock on the market, it’s vital to act quickly and keep your eyes peeled for opportunities that fit the bill. Properties are being snapped up as soon as they hit the market or reach out to our agents and find out about any potential off-market opportunities.  

Our Bondi specialist Mary Anne Cronin says, “Bondi is renowned for its mix of old meets new and features a variety of architectural styles with Art Deco and 1920s Californian bungalows among the most sought-after. We have a couple of Art Deco gems in the pipeline which will be launching next week so keep an eye open for those or give me a ring and let me know what you’re looking for.”

Launched this week, 6/134 Ramsgate Avenue, North Bondi is a newly renovated two-storey townhome with panoramic beach views in a tightly held setting on the Ben Buckler peninsula directly opposite the Grassy Knoll with the sand and surf virtually at the doorstep. Alexander Phillips also has two new listings on leafy Simpson Street both with a family focused layout and fantastic location 500m to Hall Street’s village hub. The newly built 299 Simpson Street, Bondi Beach is a high-spec four-bedroom home crafted from off form concrete, steel and glass with a striking double height internal atrium and Italian mosaic-tiled plunge pool. Just down the street, 27 Simpson Street, Bondi Beach is a classic Californian bungalow with a lush tropical garden oasis and breezy beach house feel.

The glamorous cousin of Bondi Beach, and also in the 2026 postcode, Tamarama is a fashionista’s paradise with epic views, world-class surf and idyllic marine parkland. In a class of its own, 29 Carlisle Street, Tamarama is a contemporary masterpiece overlooking the full sweep of the beach from its incredibly private setting and features every conceivable luxury including a north facing poolside entertainer’s oasis, home cinema, self-contained studio and dual street access with triple garaging.

The aptly named Mackenzies View at 11 Alexander Street, Tamarama is one of the suburb’s few remaining freestanding Californian bungalows set on a rare level 458sqm framed by gorgeous gardens and featuring a wide side drive with triple parking. High on the ridge between Tamarama and Bronte Beaches, 12 Thompson Street, Tamarama commands panoramic northerly views from its elevated setting and features custom interiors that fuse cutting-edge architecture with eco-friendly design principles as well as a self-contained studio.

Not in the 2026 postcode, but right on the border of North Bondi, is Christian West’s new listing at 42 Onslow Street, Rose Bay. With five bedrooms including a lower level suite and master retreat, the beautifully renovated family home opens to a tropical garden paradise framed by soaring palm trees with a beach shower for rinsing off after a surf and village cafes at the end of the leafy cul-de-sac.
