Bronte is the antidote to the hustle. It’s a suburb that doesn't just sit by the ocean-it revolves around it. Here, the day starts before the city wakes up: locals in the Bogey Hole at dawn, runners on the cliff path, and neighbours trading news on Macpherson Street.

Unlike its louder northern neighbours, Bronte has retained a rare village intimacy. It’s an enclave of hillside terraces and contemporary beach houses where "community" isn’t a buzzword, it’s a daily reality. You live here to be 20 minutes from the boardroom but a world away from the stress, knowing that every single day ends with the sound of the ocean.

Iconic Landmarks

A Legacy of Harbourside Prestige

Originally developed in the late 19th century as a residential retreat for Sydney’s affluent families, Double Bay evolved into one of the Eastern Suburbs’ most exclusive harbourside villages. Large estates were gradually subdivided, giving rise to a mix of Federation homes, Art Deco apartments and contemporary luxury residences.

Today, heritage character blends seamlessly with high-end redevelopment, reinforcing its long-standing reputation as a blue-chip address.

Waterfront Living

Double Bay’s identity is shaped by its iconic harbourside and village landmarks, including:

  • Murray Rose Pool (Redleaf Beach)
  • Steyne Park
  • Double Bay Wharf
  • The Cosmopolitan & Kiaora precinct
  • InterContinental Double Bay
