• Sydney celebrity hot spots revealed

FASHION wild child turned miracle balcony fall survivor Dan Single has joined models Jessica and Ashley Hart and Lucinda Taffs at Hamptons hotspot — the Surf Lodge.

The location — branded the Byron Bay of New York and often frequented by local cool kids including actor Naomi Watts, her photographer brother Ben Watts, models Montana Cox and Single’s ex-wife Bambi Northwood Blythe — has become the go-to venue for our celebrity set escaping the cold during Sydney’s winter.

The most recent event held at the buzzy celeb haunt was the official launch of digital business-card app Cinq, which lured Aussie
A-listers including Jess Hart, still sporting a bright blue plaster cast after breaking her wrist while rollerskating, sister Ashley, Single and model Lucinda Taffs.

Surf Lodge creative director and Aussie expat Sasha Benz said the Montauk venue has become a second home to our social set thanks to its laid-back vibe.

“I think the best thing about Montauk is that it’s all about surfing all day and then heading into Surf Lodge barefoot on the sand, while listening to amazing artists and having sunset drinks — which is exactly what Australian summers are all about,” she told Confidential.

“It’s beach town meets biggest city in the world and it’s got a cool crowd.”

While Benz’s husband Oli is the venue’s resident DJ, the couple also enlist local talent including Matty Sav, Jimmy 2 Sox, Single and Yolanda Be Cool to hit the decks.

“On any given night you will see a world class artist perform, see the sky turn pink and purple, eat world class food and be surrounded by celebrities, artists and models,” Benz said.
