Coogee
Coogee was originally settled by the wealthy as a retreat from the city. It became a fashionable seaside resort in the early 1900s with the opening of an Aquarium and an ocean pier in 1928. In the 1980s, the Council undertook an ambitous re-development of the seafront. A Holiday Inn hotel was opened and the Coogee Bay Hotel refurbished to cater for thousands of new, now international visitors that visit Coogee each year.
A mixture of older-style apartments, new townhouses and apartments, alongside Californian bungalows, quaint freestanding cottages and double-storey houses with large backyards.
The most obvious landmark and useful meeting point is the Coogee Bay Hotel. Wylies baths, originally built in 1907 out of the sandstone cliffs at the south end of the beach have been refurbished recently.
