Darling Point sits on the eastern shores of Sydney Harbour, one of the city's oldest and most established addresses. Some of Sydney's grandest homes are here, many with a long history behind them. It is a quiet, leafy pocket close to Double Bay and Edgecliff, offering harbour glamour without the crowds of the beach suburbs.
Cocoon hand picks each property for design, comfort and location. Every villa comes with local support from a team who knows the eastern suburbs well.
Among them, a historic residence with over a century of history, featuring hand painted wall decor, an original mahogany dining table and richly detailed interiors, ranked among the grandest houses remaining in Sydney.
September to November and March to May offer ideal weather with fewer crowds, the same as the rest of Sydney.
December to February is peak season. Expect higher prices and longer minimum stays across Sydney's luxury rentals during this period.
Book 6 to 12 months ahead for Christmas, New Year and Easter. Off peak, 3 to 6 months is usually enough.
