What you should look for in a luxury Sydney home.

If you have a big budget and Sydney is where you want to be, then make sure you know what you want before you go looking because the possibilities are endless.

A pool is essential for a luxury Sydney home, if you want to be able to use it all year round, you'll want an indoor pool. If you think you'll only be in it in the summer, look for an outdoor pool and if you're feeling luxurious enough - get a property with both.

If you want a pool to keep fit then you might want space for your own gym too. Why not have your own private space to work out without having to wait to use the equipment - keeping you feet and healthy whenever you have five minutes at home.

If you're a big fan of movies then a home cinema is essential, nothing beats the experience of a big screen and surround sound especially from the comfort of luxury cinema seats or a huge sofa. Other accessories such as a popcorn or slushie maker could make great additions to your luxury pad.

Although you may not spend much time in there, if you like luxury cars then a big garage is a must have to keep your collection safe. Electric doors with remote access are also essential for un-hindered access to your assortment of luxury cars.

Luxury Gifts For Hosts

Summer is very nearly here and with a time for partying and also soon to be the season of good will. With all these summer parties happening, it is important to always take a gift for your host (as well as a pretty girl on your arm) but is there any etiquette in what you buy?

When you're buying a gift for a host you don't know too well on a personal level, perhaps they are a friend of a friend or someone from work, you can never be quite sure what to buy them. When the host is someone you know personally, you can buy them their favourite bands new merchandise, a set of cufflinks that will go with his new shirt or a beer/ spirit they are particularly fond of - easy. So what should you do?

 

Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Particularly if your host is male this gift will go down well. Even if they don't drink scotch something as prestigious as Johnnie Walker is an excellent gift to have in the cupboard to impress peers and well educated women.

Godiva is one of the most delicious chocolate brands around and your host (especially if they're female) will love them. Even those who don't particularly enjoy chocolate will like these as they are of such a high quality that they look and taste amazing.

Alternatively, follow the trends with the popular wines around at the moment, even if your host ends up with 5 of the same bottle - as long as it's good quality they won't mind.

November Restaurants in Sydney

Gowings Bar and Grill

Working to cater for all three meals throughout the day, as well as running an excellent bar, Gowings is doing everything right. With a fantastic range of seafood, steak and other fire-cook meats and carefully selected lunch and dinner time specials you really cannot argue with the menu. The style of the place is impeccable, with its genuine atmosphere and great seating arrangements.

 

Red Lantern on Riley

A preppy little Vietnamese restaurant with a great interior setting. The food is to be taken seriously, made to such high standards it needs to be eaten with chopsticks and most importantly it needs to be shared. Classic Vietnamese food but often with a twist, the interiors encourage comfort and large groups - if you know you're going, be sure to book.
