Manly Pacific NSW: How Aussie hotel rivals some of Italy's best
Brace yourself — the deluge is upon us. As the winter chill sets in across the east coast, and Aussies set off for their European summer in droves — keeping up with the social splurge of snaps from the Almalfi Coast, Lake Como or the high streets of Milan becomes almost too much to bare. For those sticking south for the winter like me, never fear — because I've come across a little slice of almost Positano that will warm you from the inside out. And while the water temp may be well below the Med at this time of year — the views, food, room and overall atmosphere will put this spot at the top of your winter weekend list. Stay The Manly Pacific – M Gallery sits midway along the ever-popular Manly Beach, but despite its central location — the oversized rooms, and recent $30 million refurbishment throughout the hotel makes you feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle. vertical video here I checked in to one of the hotel's stunning coastal villas — which spreads across two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette, dining space and sizeable loungeroom. The balcony stretches from one side of the villa to the other, providing uninterrupted views across Manly and over to Shelley Beach (a great place for a paddleboard or snorkel). The villas are all designed by Coco Republic with a relaxed and sophisticated coastal aesthetic, providing guests with a calm and soothing experience throughout their stay. To celebrate winter, the hotel transforms the main drag of Manly Beach to be about as close to Italy as you can get their new winter package — Culinary Coastline: A Taste of Italy. Instead of driving, guests living within a 25km radius of the hotel can be picked up in a luxury car and chauffeur service arriving direct at the beachfront hotel with a glass of Italian prosecco on hand. Awarded a recent recognition among the world's 16 most beautiful hotels at the Prix Versailles awards, Manly Pacific offers an elevated seaside experience that starts from the moment guests check in. After gliding through the stunning entry foyer, a delicious signature charcuterie platter sat ready and waiting in our room — and a complimentary mini bar should you have a pre-dinner hunger pangs. Take a dip in the hotel's rooftop heated pool (a perfect spot to catch the sunset) or a session in the nearby sauna that can be booked privately. Eat Perhaps the highlight of the stay was dinner at the hotels adjoining restaurant, Cibaria. Everything from the cocktail menu, to the share plates, music and waitstaff will have you feeling like you're nestled in a ristorante on the other side of the world. The restaurant, which only opened in December last year, is an all-day spot attracting fun, playful crowds in no rush for lunch or dinner. The 130-seat restaurant has been beautiful decorated inside, to create a bright and colourful atmosphere for guests (with a delicious gelataria attached). We went with the Culinary Coastlines Menu, and not a single dish disappointed. Starting with the Pizzetta Bianca and the crab fritters, followed by the scallops (my dish of the night) and the yellowfin tuna crudo — another standout was the crabmeat trattole for a real Italian pasta hit. Make sure you leave room for dessert, because the house hazelnut tiramisu with mascarpone cream, coffee and savoiardi biscuit is actual heaven on a plate — so you may want to order two. Do Being in the thick of Manly means not only the beach and plenty of coastal walks are at your doorstep, but the weekend markets and plenty of shops are just footsteps away too. Grab a coffee from Bistro Manly downstairs (which is where you'll also enjoy a delightful buffet breakfast) and hit the pavement from the hotel around to Shelley Beach for a chilly (but refreshing) dip. For a midmorning hit — enjoy a pastry from Rollers Bakehouse just off the corso, and meander through the markets which is filled with local artworks, clothing and homewares. And if you dare, just like you would in the Med — strip down and take a dip, because the water (albeit chilly this time of year) couldn't get clearer if it tried!

RHOBH's Erika Jayne Shows Off Her 'Sexy' Old Hollywood-Inspired Home: ‘What L.A. Living Is About' (Exclusive)
Erika Jayne redesigned her Los Angeles home with help from celebrity interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard The pair give a tour of the rooms' highlights in an exclusive PEOPLE Hollywood at Home video Some of Bullard's other clients have included Cher, Elton John and Kylie Jenner Erika Jayne is giving a peek inside her newly redesigned Los Angeles abode. In an exclusive PEOPLE Hollywood at Home video tour, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 53, shows off her house, which she says was inspired by '1920s glamour.' She explains that 'none of this would've been possible' without celebrity interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who's decorated for A-listers like Cher, Elton John and Kylie Jenner for the past three decades. The pair's home tour starts with the living room, which Bullard says captures the reality star's personality perfectly. 'It's got glamour, it's very comfortable, it's very approachable,' he tells her. 'But don't forget it's sexy.' 'At nighttime, especially, this is the sexiest room,' Erika agrees. The space's grounding piece is a cream-colored sofa from Coco Republic, in a cozy fabric. Erika also praises the luxurious rug, which she says 'did not disappoint' when she 'rolled around' on it. Bullard notes that he kept a statue from Erika's former decor for its 'character,' adding, 'The mix of the old and the new has really made this room feel extra special.' Other highlights include vaulted ceilings with full-height drapery, which the designer explains 'exemplify the high style of the 1920s and '30s' in Hollywood, and a 1960s bar cart from the South of France. Next is the dining room, which Bullard calls a 'main focal point' when people enter the house.'Every day I come in here I am thrilled,' Erika says. Bullard calls the palm wallpaper 'decorating magic,' explaining that it brings personality and drama to the space. 'Now, you bring a lot of drama into spaces, normally,' he jokes of his reality star client. 'I do,' Erika admits. 'But then you brought the right kind of drama, like the beautiful, artistic drama.' 'My son and I sit here almost every night and have dinner together,' she adds of Thomas "Tommy" Zizzo, whom she welcomed with her first husband in 1992. 'And it's very special for us.' The duo then enter Erika's bedroom, which Bullard calls a 'sexy, movie star experience.' 'This is a room that I feel it's like a little cocoon, in a way,' Erika just feels warm and luxurious in here, which is what you want in your bedroom.' The bedroom leads out into a garden with a cabana, which Erika refers to as 'the best part of the house.' 'This is so special,' she continues. 'Everyone that comes here is like 'Erika, this is the best part of this entire space.' Bullard explains the inspiration for the cabana's teal and white walls. 'The stripes are a real decorating trick,' he says. 'It's a way to add drama. It's a way to make the space feel bigger. It's a way to transport you.' 'I feel so serene, like I'm somewhere else right here,' Erika admits. Bullard then says what he loves most is that the outdoor space includes a DJ booth. 'We're ready for a dance party, we're ready for an impromptu cocktail party, we're ready for friends, we're ready for a dip in the pool,' Erika says. 'This is really what L.A. living is about.' In the season 14 premiere of RHOBH, Erika opened up about her decision to redesign the home, where she's lived since her 2020 split from ex-husband Tom Girardi. Tom's legal troubles began making headlines shortly after. The former couple listed their L.A. area mansion for $13 million before dropping it to $8.2 million six months later. It sold in 2022 for $8 million. "The house is tiny ... there's really a living room, a bedroom, and the two other bedrooms that are closets," Erika said on the episode, which aired in November 2024. "I spent 20-plus years in what some people will refer to as a mansion. When I left Pasadena, I took what would fit in the house." "It's time to, I think, let go of the past and let go of that furniture," she added. "Redoing the living room is a real step in the right direction." She first shared the redesign on the season's 14th episode, which aired in March. 'I feel like a new woman,' she said of taking in her updated surroundings. 'This is such a great new beginning, and it just feels like me.' Read the original article on People
