South of Watsons Bay and heading back towards the city is the magnificent Vaucluse, known for its harbor side beaches and palatial homes – it is the epitome of luxury. What sets this area apart is the preservation of one of Sydney’s oldest and most beautiful original homes – Vaucluse House – the property that gave the suburb it’s name.
Sydney-born barrister and novelist John Lang once wrote of Vaucluse House, ‘There is not a lovelier site in the known world’. High praise indeed, just what is it that makes this Historical home so special you may ask?
