Some of its iconic landmarks include the Lavender Bay Baths built in 1910, the beautiful Wendy’s Secret Garden, and the Lavender Bay Wharf. The Lavender Bay Baths, also called Cavill’s Baths, were significant in the suburb. Not only did this provide space for an array of recreational activities, but it also was a vantage point for sweeping views of the region.

Wendy’s Secret Garden is an excellent destination in Lavender Bay and one of the most popular destinations for nature lovers. This whimsical work of art is the brainchild of Wendy Whitely. Following neglecting the railway land on which the garden stands, Wendy sought to transform the derelict parcel into a magical garden now visited by thousands of people yearly.

Wendy treated the garden as her work of art and transformed it into a beautiful destination over a decade. Some of its features include picnic tables, shaded spots alongside antiques and items of interest, such as an old tricycle and a rusty wheelbarrow, which add to the overall aura of the garden. This private oasis has free entry for all.

After experiencing the tranquillity of the gardens, take a lovely stroll on the Lavender Bay to Kirribilli Harbourside Walk, which rewards you with sweeping views of the harbour. You may also enjoy quiet green spaces at the Lavender Bay Parklands. For the kids, explore Art Barton Park and see whether they can locate any treasures.
