No matter how much you love hanging out with friends, sometimes you want to spend time on your own. Whether it’s to study, to read, or just to relax, there are times when you want to do those things in places that you don’t usually visit. Although spending time alone seems like something that only lonely people do, it’s actually a much-needed thing that will allow you to just sit back and recharge yourself. If you’re a student in Sydney who wants to explore some places to relax, then these places are perfect for you.
Coogee Beach
Beaches are surely the most ideal place to have fun, but sometimes they can be way too crowded and cause you to miss the chance to relax. If you’re a fan of beaches, but want to spend your day at a quieter, more private place, then Coogee Beach is the answer! There are a lot of beautiful oceans pools and seaside parks with playground where you can lie down all day while reading and enjoying the spectacular view. You can also have a delicious lunch at the Coogee’s Pavillion rooftop.
Mr. Mo
If you’re looking a quiet place to study, but afraid to miss out meals, then Mr. Mo can be your choice. Mo offers delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a a wide range of coffee and wines. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, so you don’t need to worry about not being able to concentrate. If you’re looking for a more private surroundings, then you can stay indoor. But if you want to study or read while enjoying the sunlight, then you can always choose a table outside.
Milson Community Garden
Milson Community Garden is a place where you can find various flowers, herbs and seasonal vegetables. The garden officially opened in 2009 after some residents expressed their wish to have a community garden where everyone can gather and enjoy the view.
