Vaucluse Suburb Profile
One of Sydney’s original suburbs, living in Vaucluse offers a prestigious neighbourhood steeped in history. There are relics of fortifications, and the area has been home to prominent Australians who shaped the future of New South Wales. Predominantly a residential suburb, Vaucluse has hidden gems – truly some of Sydney’s finest. Sydney Harbour National Park hugs the foreshores, with Nielsen Park and the calm waters of Shark Beach taking centre stage. This is a place where waterfront dining and sunbathing go hand in hand. Further around the bay, hidden reserves and intimate beaches have a locals-only feel to them.
Vaucluse lies on part of the Rose Bay to Watsons Bay harbour walk and the Bondi to Watsons Bay Coastal walk, making it easy to escape the grind and be immersed in natural bushlands that have jaw-dropping views of Sydney Harbour to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. The Gap Park and the historic landmark of Macquarie Lighthouse offer incredible vistas of the rugged coastline and Pacific Ocean.
On land, it’s hard to look past the beauty and grandeur of the heritage-listed estates, Vaucluse House, Strickland House, and The Hermitage. South Head Cemetery is the resting place of some of Australia’s most prominent citizens. Living in Vaucluse is a home for the prestigious and a destination for history buffs and sun lovers.
