Property developer and richlister Tim Gurner is finally spreading the Saint Haven wellness concept to Sydney, by establishing a flagship club in Bondi Beach.
Mr Gurner, valued at almost $1bn, is also taking the Saint Haven brand to North Sydney, where he secured a 3000sq m site for a - second Sydney Saint Haven in a boutique commercial building fronting 123 Walker Street.
Mr Gurner, founder and chairman of Gurner Group, said Saint Haven Bondi – a luxury private beach club – followed the success of five clubs in Melbourne in locations such as South Yarra, Toorak, Collingwood and St Kilda, and added that there was a substantial membership waitlist in Victoria, NSW and Queensland.
Mr Gurner also plans to take the concept to Queensland’s Gold Coast, and overseas to the United Arab Emirates and the US.
“Since launching our first Saint Haven in 2023, we’ve had thousands of Sydney-based individuals join the waitlist, eager to experience something that doesn’t yet exist in their city,” he said.
“Bondi is a global icon of health and wellness – and Saint Haven will take that to another level. This will be unlike anything Sydney has ever seen.”
Saint Haven’s first Sydney club is expected to reach capacity well before opening due to a limited number of memberships, of which there are said to be about 400 available, though Mr Gurner would not comment on the figure.
