ROZELLE
GET TO KNOW
THE AREA
Defined by its organic food scene, creative arts culture and local watering holes, Rozelle has an alluring character that is all embracing. Within arm’s reach of Sydney’s CBD and bordered by glistening bays, locals can easily stretch out beyond their historic workers’ cottages and be immersed in an enviable lifestyle.
Lifestyle
Once an inner west pocket that was overshadowed by neighbouring Balmain, Rozelle has in many ways stolen the limelight, with many businesses that helped define Balmain having relocated to the Rozelle end of Darling Street turning Rozelle into a shopping destination in its own right and fast-tracking the suburb to become one of Sydney’s most highly-sought after enclaves.
Locals and Sydneysiders flock to this neighbourhood, as much for the enviable creative and organic scene that consumes Darling Street, as for the weekly Rozelle Markets that are brimming with antiques, collectibles and second-hand treasures.

Hectic Victoria Road and Darling Street slice through Rozelle, both of which are bustling with restaurants, cafés and boutique stores. Step away from these busy commercial hubs and all goes quiet in the narrow backstreets which flow down to Iron Cove on one side and Rozelle Bay on the other.
Cosy British style pubs and rowdy local watering holes blend with historic workers’ cottages that line the narrow backstreets – a combination that nods to the neighbourhood’s blue-collar roots.
