Rose Bay Suburb Profile

An established suburb that oozes class and elegance, Rose Bay also has a relaxed nature based on the love of being outdoors. The promenade that hugs glistening Rose Bay is lined with weeping figs, connecting Rose Bay Park with historic Catalina Reserve. The bay area is popular with paddle boarders and kayakers who glide around the million-dollar yachts moored in the bay, whilst seaplanes take off above boats of all shapes and sizes that set sail from Woollahra Sailing Club.
When not playing in the water, locals gravitate towards the tennis courts on the bay or one of the two golf courses – the more accessible Woollahra Golf Club or the exclusive Royal Sydney Golf Club. Waterside cafés and fine dining establishments are a way of life. Award-winning Catalina Restaurant is at the forefront of the local dining scene, but for something more casual, the nostalgic setting of Plumer Road has a handful of cafés set in a village-like ambience – the shopkeepers know the locals by name.
From water to the land, this is a part of Sydney you’ll never want to leave. Living in Rose Bay means embracing a lifestyle that beautifully balances tranquility and community, and enjoying the stunning surroundings that make it so special.
Living in Rose Bay offers not just a home, but a vibrant way of life that celebrates both relaxation and connection.
