Double Bay

Double Bay, affectionately nicknamed 'Double Pay,' is the eastern suburbs' byword for cosmopolitan luxury: a compact harbourside village of designer boutiques, jewellers, day spas and chic brasseries set among leafy, heritage-lined streets. Bay, Knox and Cross streets form a refined retail promenade, while the harbour foreshore, marina and the Murray Rose ocean pool give the suburb a polished, on-the-water elegance just minutes from the city. The atmosphere is sophisticated and moneyed but still intimate, with a strong cafe and wine-bar culture and a recent wave of new venues reviving its glamour. Drawing high-net-worth buyers, executives and well-heeled downsizers, Double Bay blends boutique-village charm with prestige addresses, offering a walkable, indulgent lifestyle for those who can afford one of Sydney's premium postcodes.
