Didn't go at the best time of year as it bucketed it down for a time while we were there. It was blowy and windy too and much smaller than I imagined it. Glad we went though it was beautiful.

Here's an updated review mentioning it's at Bondi Icebergs Pool, Sydney – A Must-Visit Spot While in Sydney, I visited the Bondi Icebergs Pool – an iconic ocean pool right on Bondi Beach. Swimming there was an amazing experience: salty ocean water, waves splashing over the edge, and a breathtaking view. After swimming, I went to the sauna with a panoramic view of the ocean. It's small and can get a bit crowded, but still a great way to relax. The on-site restaurant also offers delicious food with one of the best views in Sydney. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the city. Bondi Icebergs in Sydney - a must visit On a trip to Sydney I visited Bondi Icebergs, a famous ocean pool right on Bondi Beach. Swimming there is a real pleasure: salty water, overflowing waves and breathtaking views. After the swim, I went to the sauna with a panorama of the ocean. It's small and sometimes crowded, but still a great way to relax. The pool restaurant serves delicious food and has some of the best views in Sydney. Definitely worth checking out if you're in town.
