While for most, COVID-19 isolation is a form of social death, for multi-millionaire Sydney bar tsar Justin Hemmes the pandemic has presented some rather unique opportunities.
So say Hemmes’ Vaucluse neighbours who called us breathlessly last week to confide the news that “three hot models have moved into Hemmes’ mansion to isolate”!
Our attempts to reach Hemmes by phone to confirm the chatter proved fruitless but further investigation revealed the tip to be quite true, with one slight deviation.

There are in fact four young women staying at Hemmes’ grand eastern suburbs property — but only three are models.
Right on cue, stunning young Chadwick’s model Madeline Holtznagel, younger sister to
one-time Australia’s Next Top Model entrant Simone, posted photographs showing her “just frolicking around” in Hemmes’ house, looking young and supple in a tiny playsuit on a palm-filled veranda.
“Iso relaxed,” the twenty-something posted, along with another shot showing
her wearing only a towel and face mask.
Hemmes’ hospitality clearly knows no bounds when it comes to lovely struggling young models during the COVID crisis.
With Hemmes himself missing from the images, it would take a call to his rep to establish whether he was off, perhaps in the background, mixing cocktails or possibly in the city meeting bankers left anxious by the recent closure of 70 Merivale hospitality venues.
Turns out Hemmes is, we were told, out of town staying at another of his properties, in the country, with his two young daughters, news that probably won’t hurt Hemmes’ playboy status one bit.
