In the 19th century, the region was primarily bushland, but over the years, it has undergone clearance and division to give way to the construction of houses and apartments. This development was even more pronounced with the opening of the majestic Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Some of the suburb’s most prominent landmarks are Kirribilli House, the Kirribilli Neighbourhood Centre, and the Admiralty House and Lodge at Kirribilli Point, all of which are heritage-listed properties. Kirribilli House, the official residence of the country’s Prime Minister, is open to the public once a year.

Admiralty House and Lodge, on the other hand, is the official residence of the Governor-General of Australia. It is an imposing Italianate mansion built using sandstone, with beautiful views of the Sydney Harbour and Opera House.

This relaxed setting is easy to access, and there are many fun activities to do as you enjoy commanding water views.
