Watsons Bay, Dunbar House

Dunbar House is located along Marine Parade in the eastern suburb of Watsons Bay. This heritage listed house was designed by Mortliner Lewis and built around 1837. In 1854 it became the Marine Hotel and later the Greenwich Pier Hotel and the Royal Hotel until 1923. It then became the Vaucluse Municipal Council Chambers until 1948 when amalgamation with Woollahra Council took place. It was refurbished in 2010 and is now a cafe and events venue.

    Really interesting! I like the columns around the outside of the seating area there, I can imagine the view is lovely if you were having tea. - Tasha xxx

    What a lovely suburb Watsons Bay is.
    And how cool to be able to eat and drink surrounded by the summer gardens.
