Double Bay

Lifestyle

Charming, sophisticated and languishing in high-end style, Double Bay is truly a blue ribbon address.

This harbourside enclave is all about glamour and lifestyle. It’s perfectly poised just 4 kilometres east of the CBD and has an air of elegant affluence.

In recent years, this prestige spot has undergone some tweaks to freshen up it’s appeal - trendy bars, cool eateries and a fancy new hotel, have all made their debut and added to the area’s chic flavour. And this younger vibe and energy has helped to give the once ‘stayed’ environment, even more appeal.

Wander through wide leafy streets showcasing elegant homes, enjoy alfresco dining in superb restaurants, and give the credit card a decent workout at the designer fashion boutiques.

The main thoroughfare, New South Head Road is a hive of activity with sporting pubs, cafes, florist shops and local businesses. Whilst the charming boulevards of Knox, Cross and Bay streets, and the resplendent Transvaal Avenue, immediately transport you to a european village with elegant cafes, restaurants and boutiques.

Residents love Murray Rose Harbour Pool, the perfect spot for an early morning dip or relaxing in the sun, and the local children who attend the one and only public school, get to enjoy water views with their arithmetic.

People

You’ll find plenty of people indulging in long lunches in Double Bay, but this desirable spot is also a hit with young professionals who love to be close to the city Mondays to Fridays, and surrounded by luxury and harbour views on the weekend.
