Bronte

Bronte was originally named Nelson’s Bay after the Lord Admiral Nelson. When the first land grants were finalised in 1836, the suburb began to take shape with the building of historic Bronte House. Today, Bronte’s laid back beach atmosphere makes it a favourite Sydney spot for both locals and visitors.

Bronte boasts a charming mix of semi detached houses dating from the earlier part of this century, between-the-wars Californian bungalows and newer substantial houses and contemporary apartments. Holiday Rentals in Bronte put you in one of Sydneys most beautiful and central suburbs.

In Bronte you can experience an authentic Sydney beachside lifestyle. Spend your spare time walking along the stunning coastal track and swimming or surfing at Bronte or any of the other nearby beaches. Bronte is known for its fabulous cafes so grab a coffee or take some fish and chips down onto Brontes family friendly park area. The kids will love the open space and play equipment, and there are plenty of shady spots to sit and enjoy the view.
