Double Bay

Governor Macquarie named the area after a geographical feature. Double Bay literally has a pair of bays on its northern harbour foreshore. During the 1920′s to 30s a surge of building took place and these stylish apartments and bungalows remain today. The area really got its edge during the 1960s when it developed into Sydneys most exclusive shopping precinct with a distinct European feel. Unsurpassed shopping, food and grand accommodation remains the order of the day.

Designer boutiques and international fashion labels, along with a fine selection of modern and antique books stores, antique and art galleries and excellent food make shopping in Double Bay a treat. The many European residents give the area a distinct continental feel- quite unique in Australia.

Double Bay is full of exceptional architecture influenced by the varied cultures and wealth of the residents. There are lovely furnished apartments, luxury holiday homes and some waterfront accommodation
