Brighton Bathing Boxes
There are 82 brightly coloured bathing boxes nestled on the sand at Dendy Street Beach, overlooking the water. Dating back to the late 19th century, all of these iconic bathing boxes retain classic Victorian architectural design with timber framing and corrugated iron roofs.

Rippon Lea House & Gardens
Located near Brighton in neighbouring Elsternwick, Rippon Lea is set on 5 hectares of extensive gardens which include sweeping lawns, flower and rose gardens, a large lake, waterfall, lush fernery and orchard. The home itself was built in 1868 and the many rooms illustrate different periods of its ownership over the years. There is also a nostalgic pop-up tea room located in the stables.
