And as Bondi locals, Sensoriam knows all the best spots and unique ideas to make your baby shower truly special!
What is a Baby Shower?
A baby shower is a heartfelt celebration that honours and supports the parents-to-be as they prepare to welcome new life. It’s a beautiful gathering where friends, family, and loved ones come together to share joy, offer thoughtful gifts, and celebrate the magic of this transformative moment.
While a baby shower is sometimes separate from a gender reveal, many modern celebrations now combine the two, creating a special and memorable event. The gender reveal moment has become a highlight, with creative and unique announcements seen across social media—ranging from balloon pops to confetti cannons and more.
Traditionally, a baby shower was held for the mother-to-be and her close friends, offering an intimate and supportive space. While many still follow this tradition, today’s baby showers are often inclusive of partners, family members, and friends, making it a shared celebration of new beginnings.

This beautiful, sensory activity invites you and your guests to create your own bespoke fragrance using the finest 100% natural botanical ingredients.

Each guest will leave with a signature scent—a lasting reminder of this special day and the joy of welcoming new life. We can help you make it a special day.
2. Private Baby Shower Celebration at Hotel Ravesis
For a chic, beachside baby shower, Hotel Ravesis is the perfect destination. This art deco gem offers a relaxed yet luxurious atmosphere with a wrap-around verandah and front terrace, ideal for soaking in Bondi’s iconic beach views. For a more intimate gathering, their Luxe Loft provides a private space—perfect for playing fun baby shower games, sharing special moments, and even hosting a Sensoriam natural perfume-making experience. It’s a beautiful setting to celebrate the mum-to-be with loved ones in a personal and elegant space.
3. Beachfront Dining at The Promenade
Another fabulous lunch or dinner option is The Promenade, located right on Bondi Beach. Their private dining space offers a laid-back yet elegant setting, perfect for an oceanfront celebration. Combine this with a Sensoriam perfume-making experience that we can bring to the venue, for a truly memorable event.
4. Beachside Venue at Bondi Pavilion
Celebrate by the sea in one of the beautifully restored rooms at the heritage-listed Bondi Pavilion. With sweeping views over Bondi Beach, this iconic location offers a variety of spaces to suit your group size and vibe. Each venue comes with plenty of tables and chairs, and you’re free to decorate the space to match your baby shower theme. There’s ample room for games, activities, and mingling—and with the beach just steps away, guests (and kids!) can dip into the ocean between moments. We can bring our natural perfume-making experience to this venue as well.
5. Flow, Heal or Meditate at Body By Berner
For something truly soul-nourishing, gather your group for a gentle yoga flow, healing circle, or meditation session at Body By Berner. This serene Bondi Beach studio feels more like an art gallery than a gym—think billowing white curtains, natural textures, and tranquil light. Founder Bernadette can curate a bespoke experience just for you. Afterward, step right into the heart of Bondi for a beautiful brunch or dinner to keep the celebration going.

9. Other Creative & Unique Baby Shower Ideas
Looking to step outside the traditional baby shower box? Here are some imaginative ways to celebrate the parents-to-be:
Non-Alcoholic Cocktail Tasting – Shake up some fun with a sophisticated mocktail tasting class. Delicious, refreshing, and pregnancy-friendly. Try Sydney’s Only Non-Alcoholic Bar called Seadrift Distillery for a fun experience.
Tea Tasting Experience – Sip and savour a selection of fine teas—perfect for a calm, nurturing gathering. We love Ms Cattea for the best selection of teas. And also Altitude Tea for a special tea Ceremony experience.
Garden Games – A gentle game of croquet is easy to set up and adds a charming, vintage feel to an outdoor baby shower.
Poolside Party – Keep things cool (especially for the mama-to-be) with a relaxed pool party vibe. You can use Swimply to find one just for you.
Hire a Unique Private Space – Discover hidden gems around Sydney with hourly venue rentals via Swimply—from lush gardens to chic private homes.
Private Cinema Screening – Rent out a cinema and enjoy the parents’ favourite movie with popcorn, laughs, and plenty of cosy moments.
Paint & Sip – Baby Edition – Get creative with two beautiful options with Pinot & Picasso: a classic paint and sip session, or our exclusive Baby on Board experience, where guests decorate onesies and milestone cards for the new arrival.
High Tea - A gorgeous high tea is luxe, relaxing and traditional. You can do a Gin & Tea High Tea with The Fox Hole in Sydney, or High Tea on a Ferris Wheel with Loftus Lane.
