About Jonah’s
Jonah’s is located just 50 minutes from Sydney. It was built 1929 by Constance Vidal as a roadhouse on the remote outskirts of the city. Back in those days, well-to-do ladies and gentlemen would set off in their motorcars for a weekend excursion to Jonah’s. Today, guests can still drive to Jonah’s if they wish, or they can take a seaplane to Whale Beach to spice up the occasion even further. Jonah’s has breathtaking views across the Pacific Ocean, from its poolside terrace, the rooms and the restaurant.
