"Just an hour’s drive north of Sydney, ocean retreat Jonah’s is a dreamy hilltop getaway above dramatic Whale Beach. For a small thrill, approach by air with a 20-minute scenic flight from the city’s Rose Bay Water Airport , landing on nearby Pittwater, where a courtesy vehicle will sweep you away from the jetty. Book well in advance for The Restaurant at Jonah's, a breezy, light space serving contemporary Australian cuisine with an Italian kick, and make sure to check in with the waiter about the restaurant's 1,600-bottle-strong wine cellar—there's probably something there for you." - Sophie Davies
