Woolloomooloo

Sandwiched between Sydney’s business district and rapidly-gentrifying King’s Cross, harbour-side Woolloomooloo is a mix of sleek apartment buildings and cosmopolitan restaurants, punctuated by the famed Andrew Boy Charlton swimming pool and the imposing Finger Wharf.  

A string of sophisticated restaurants line the Wharf, also home to a luxury hotel. A lucky few live in the Wharf apartments, enjoying the ever-changing harbour scenes and ceilings dappled with water lights.

Once an industrial precinct, Woolloomooloo has evolved into an uber-convenient district for urban sophisticates who enjoy life next door to the city’s centre and appreciate being able to wander into the Art Gallery of NSW at a moment’s notice, or to duck round to one of the district’s friendly pubs, or take in a performance at Woolloomooloo’s local theatre.

STROLLING THROUGH THE GARDENS

Woolloomooloo residents can walk to Sydney’s city centre through the Domain and the Botanic Gardens – perhaps one of the most delightful daily commutes in the world.

For those who want to stretch their legs a little more, it’s an easy and scenic stroll around the harbour foreshore, circling Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, to the Opera House and Circular Quay. Heading in the other direction, Woolloomooloo residents can wander up the scenic McElhone stairs to Kings Cross for a nightcap.

SCENIC CITY-SCAPES

The location of Woolloomooloo, on the edge of Sydney’s CBD and so close to the harbour, means that many of the district’s apartments have sweeping views over parkland or water or across to the city skyline.
