There are some beautiful spots in Bronte everyone knows about like the ocean pool and bogey hole but there are others that are favourites with the locals and have a special place in the community such as the Bronte Swing out the front of Alexander Phillips’ new listing on Gardyne Street. Hanging from the branches of a magnificent old fig tree, the shady swing is perched on the highest point of the Bronte slopes with views over the beach. It’s such a happy place its even got its own Instagram hashtag and is a perfect spot to take five and enjoy the view or swing high to check out the surf. #bronteswing

One of Gardyne Street’s few remaining original beach houses, 65 Gardyne Street, Bronte is positioned at the cul-de-sac end of the street with the swing and the path down to the beach at the doorstep.

It’s just around the corner from Cali Press, Three Blue Ducks and Iggy’s Bread and 300m to the new Woolworths Metro so it’s easy to shop local and support the community.
