Darling Point
Originally named Mrs Darlings Point after the wife of the then Governor, the suburb’s illustrious history began in the 1830s when the road east from the city, New South Head Road, was completed. Sydneys society leaders moved into the numerous grand homes that sprang up. Post world war two elegant apartment buildings were built to take advantage of the postcard harbour views.
Darling Point is well connected to the city via Edgecliff train station. The New South Head Road also has many buses and there is a regular ferry service from McKell Park to Circular Quay.
The residents of Darling Point take great pride in maintaining the mansions, grand terraces and elegant apartment buildings of the suburb. The trees and shrubs are mature and although and it almost makes it as an inner city suburb, the city feels a world away. There are also many tasteful contemporary duplex and townhouse developments. Some accommodation offers stunning views arcoss the harbour to the Sydney city skyline. Woollarha is nearby suburb with similar style holiday homes and furnished apartments.
