The hotel
Jonah's is one of Australia's most spectacular ocean retreats. The perfect location to escape, relax and indulge, Jonah's is the only Relais & Chateaux hotel in Sydney.
Since it first opened as a roadhouse in 1929, Jonah's has put the exclusive enclave of Whale Beach on the international map. Famed for its luxury, privacy and seclusion, Jonah's counts Sir Lawrence Olivier, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall and Bono as some of its special quests.

Fully refurbished in 2005, each of Jonah's eleven rooms is stylishly appointed with luxurious furnishings. Each lovely room features a private balcony, spa and spectacular 180o views over the Pacific Ocean.

Luxurious and discreet, Jonah's prides itself on its friendly and casual atmosphere, and outstanding service.

We arrived at the hotel via seaplane.  Setting off from the exclusive waterside enclave of Rose Bay, the flight gave us amazing views of some of Sydney's most famous landmarks and the Pacific beaches.  It's an experience not to be missed.
