Sydney commenced its first full day of strict lockdown on Sunday amid a surge in Covid-19 cases.

And while most residents are preparing for a two-week stint cramped inside their suburban homes, local celebrities are enjoying a much more glamorous experience.

From isolating inside lavish properties to cashing in with sponsored Instagram posts, here's how the stars are spending lockdown.

Kicking off the list is former WAG Phoebe Burgess (née Hooke) who is isolating in the lap of luxury at her family's sprawling estate in Bowral.

The mother of two, 32, was forced into self-isolation following a recent visit to the Joh Bailey hair salon in Sydney's Double Bay.

Joh Bailey was added to Sydney's growing list of Covid exposure sites on Tuesday, after it was revealed the venue had been exposed from June 17 to June 19.

The ex-wife of former NRL star Sam Burgess visited the hair salon on June 22 - just days after it was exposed to coronavirus - but has since tested negative to Covid-19. 

On Monday, Phoebe gave fans an update on her lavish lockdown by uploading a gallery of Instagram photos showing herself posing with her children, Poppy, two, and Billy, four, in the garden of her family's estate.

'Lockdown isn’t all bad,' she wrote in the caption.

Sydney began its first day of lockdown on Sunday amid a rise in Covid-19 cases.

New South Wales recorded 30 new locally acquired Covid-19 cases on Sunday, bringing the total number of infections in the Bondi cluster to 112 as it's feared the outbreak is rapidly getting out of control.  

Premier Gladys Berejiklian thrust the city into a two-week lockdown as cases spread further away from the eastern suburbs epicentre, with several burgeoning super-spreader sites being a matter of concern.

Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant on Sunday gave no guarantee that the lockdown would be lifted on July 9 as scheduled with cases surging and the long list of exposure sites growing at an alarming rate.

As it stands there are only four reasons for anyone in Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour to leave their homes. 

Those reasons are work that can't be done from home, essential shopping, medical care and exercise in groups less than 10.  

Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting anyone mentioned in this story has Covid-19.
