Balmain and Rozelle
Vibe: Artistic harbourside village
What’s not to love
- Swimming at the atmospheric Dawn Fraser Baths then stretching out on the sun-warmed decks to watch local water polo teams battle it out.
- Line drawings and resin jewellery by local artists at Balmain Markets.
- Sunday afternoons people-watching from the balcony of The London or The Exchange hotels.
- Guatemalan coffee, organic vegetables and truly wicked egg and bacon breakfast rolls at the Leichhardt Farmers’ Markets.
- The Balmain Sailing Club Regatta in October where Sydney teams compete for line honours in vintage and modern yachts.
- Funky cafes like The Little Marionette, which hands over picnic rugs with their coffee cups and invites you to dine al fresco in Gladstone Park.
- The vintage clothing strip from high end to bargain finds at Rozelle Markets and nearby stores.
- Artist-run galleries strung like small jewels along Darling Street.
- Beats and bongos on the dance floor at The Monkey Bar.
