“Julie and I fell in love with the entire vision behind The Sundays” says Josh. “It reflects so much of what we value – bringing people together to create memories in beautiful surroundings. We can’t wait to introduce a dining experience that feels connected to the island and its incredible natural environment.”
Best known for their three-hatted Sydney restaurant Saint Peter, the Niland’s bring their world-renowned flair to the island, creating a unique dining experience at The Sundays overlooking Catseye Beach.
The menu features Josh’s signature whole-fish ethos while also incorporating a selection of land-based proteins and local ingredients.
Whether it’s a poolside snack between swims or a slow afternoon that turns into evening, Catseye Pool Club is all about time well spent—with good food, great company, and views worth lingering over.
