BONDI HITLIST: HIGH VIBE LIVING BY THE SEA
Looking for the ultimate Bondi travel guide? Creative director and spiritual teacher Rochelle Livingstone has curated her personal hitlist of the best places to eat, move, stay, and vibe in Bondi Beach — all with a golden twist.
This isn't just about what to do in Bondi. It’s about how to feel while doing it. Think layered gold necklaces at brunch, stacking rings in the sauna, and barefoot glamour from sunrise to sunset.
Ready to live the high-vibe life by the sea? Let’s begin.
BEST BREAKFAST SPOT IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: Bills Bondi
A Bondi favourite — blush-toned tiles, seasonal bakes, and laid-back elegance with a side of rosé.
A must on any Bondi brunch guide, Bills offers light-filled interiors and iconic dishes Rochelle swears by. Especially when styled with layered gold necklaces, short denim, and a loose shirt. Easy, comfy, and still totally chic.
BEST COFFEE SPOT IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: The Shop Bondi (?)
The Shop Bondi — a locals-only corner with strong coffee, retro charm, and community energy spilling onto the sidewalk.
Rochelle’s go-to for a strong flat white in between meetings and meditations. She keeps it simple: gold hoops, linen pants, and salty hair. It’s the kind of place you go once - and never stop returning.
BEST WELLNESS STUDIO IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: KAAIAA
KAAIAA Studio - immersive movement, breathwork, and recalibration in a dim-lit sanctuary designed for soul-level shifts.
This Bondi pilates sanctuary is more than movement. Rochelle wears a dainty talisman necklace with minimal activewear - letting her frequency (and jewellery) speak for itself.
BEST LUNCH RESTAURANT IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: Totti’s
Totti’s Bondi — sun-dappled courtyard dining, wood-fired everything, and barefoot glamour in every bite.
Barefoot glamour at its finest. Rochelle recommends Totti’s for wood-fired dishes and courtyard catch-ups. Add gold stacking rings and a breezy white dress to channel effortless elegance.
BEST COCKTAIL BAR IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: Icebergs Dining + Bar
Icebergs Bondi — crisp white linens, sweeping ocean views, and that unmistakable blend of elegance and edge.
Bondi’s most iconic view meets the perfect martini. Rochelle slips into a sleek necklace stack, slinky knitwear, and sandals that glitter in golden hour light.
BEST DINNER SPOT IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: Mimi’s
Mimi’s — golden interiors, ocean views, and refined coastal luxury made for long, slow dinners that turn into memories.
Dining at Mimi’s is all about golden light and golden details - Rochelle wears statement earrings and glow-forward makeup with neutral tailoring.
BEST BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: Hotel Ravesis
Hotel Ravesis — punchy pastels, bold seaside charm, and golden hour views wrapped in unapologetic attitude.
Bold, beachy, and always dressed in pink — Rochelle checks in with gold charm bracelets layered over a crochet co-ord. Views included.
BEST WELLNESS SANCTUARY IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: Slow House Bondi
Slow House — sleek minimalism, glowing light, and modern rituals designed to restore your nervous system from the inside out.
Infrared sauna, cold plunge, and total reset. Rochelle arrives in stacked gold rings, a silk robe, and a full surrender to slow living.
MUST-DO EXPERIENCE IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: Bondi Meditation Centre
Bondi Meditation Centre — a quiet sanctuary with soulful design and gentle light, offering stillness in the heart of the buzz.
Stillness meets soul. Rochelle wears a protective pendant close to her heart and soft layers that move like breath — aligned and anchored.
BEST PLACE TO SHOP IN BONDI
Rochelle’s Pick: Tuchuzy
Curated racks, minimalist staples, and that signature Bondi edge wrapped in designer cool.
Looking for where to shop in Bondi? Tuchuzy offers fashion with edge — Rochelle’s uniform: a chunky gold chain, slip dress, and oversized sunnies.
WEEKEND MARKET TO DISCOVER
Rochelle’s Pick: Bondi Farmers Market
Bondi Farmers Market — colourful stalls, local flavours, and that real-deal community vibe you only get on a sunny Saturday.
Every Saturday, Rochelle shops local produce in pearl-accented hoops, a wrap skirt, and woven slides. It’s Bondi community at its purest.
BONUS: PARTY CURATORS TO KNOW
Rochelle’s Picks: Lost Sundays & Lost Paradise Festival
Lost Sundays — sound, soul, and sweat in a weekly ritual of rhythm, release, and conscious connection on the dancefloor.
From festival to frequency, Rochelle always accessorises with body chains and celestial charms. Bondi rhythm, with a spiritual edge.
