Double Bay Luxury Villas
Double Bay is Sydney's harbourside village, a compact grid of tree lined streets built around a small sandy cove, with a main strip of boutiques, cafes and restaurants that has made it a long standing address for old Sydney money. It sits between Point Piper and Darling Point on the eastern shores of the harbour, close enough to the CBD for an easy commute but with a village pace that feels far removed from it.
The suburb suits guests who want walkable village life alongside genuine harbour glamour, whether that is a morning coffee on the main strip or an afternoon at Redleaf Pool. Cocoon hand picks each Double Bay property for design, comfort and location. Every villa comes with local support from a team who knows the eastern suburbs well.
Neighbourhood Guide
Getting around
Double Bay has its own ferry wharf, with services running into Circular Quay, a relaxed alternative to driving into the city. Buses connect the village to Edgecliff station and the CBD, and most of our properties are an easy walk to the main shopping strip, cafes and the harbour foreshore.
Eating and drinking
Double Bay's village strip along Knox Street and New South Head Road is one of the more concentrated dining and cafe precincts in the eastern suburbs, with everything from casual breakfast spots to established fine dining rooms. It is one of the few Sydney harbourside suburbs where guests can walk to dinner, then walk home again.
Shopping
The village strip has long been known for boutique fashion, jewellery and homewares, alongside everyday conveniences like bakeries, delis and a Sunday farmers market feel around the cafes. It is a genuinely walkable shopping precinct rather than a strip built for cars.
Harbour and landmarks
Redleaf Pool, a netted harbour swimming enclosure with a sandy entry and a timber boardwalk, is the local swimming spot and a short walk from most of our properties. Steyne Park runs along the foreshore for harbour views and a place to sit outdoors. The suburb's position between Point Piper and Darling Point means harbour glimpses are common even a few streets back from the water.
Best Time to Visit Double Bay
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.
The Double Bay Lifestyle
Morning coffee on the village strip. A swim at Redleaf Pool. An afternoon browsing boutiques before dinner a short walk from your door. Double Bay suits guests who want the convenience of village life alongside genuine harbourside surroundings, without needing a car for daily errands.
