Australia's most expensive suburb. Wolseley Road, harbour estates, and moves that require a crew that treats belongings accordingly.
Point Piper is consistently regarded as Australia's most expensive suburb and one of the most expensive residential addresses in the world. The suburb sits on a small peninsula jutting into Sydney Harbour 6 kilometres east of the CBD, within the Woollahra Municipal Council area. There are only eleven streets in Point Piper. The main road is Wolseley Road, which curves around the western harbour side of the peninsula and terminates in a dead end above Lady Martins Beach. In 2015, Wolseley Road was named the sixth most expensive street in the world. In 2022, 20 Wolseley Road sold for $45 million. The suburb holds the records for the three most expensive house sales in Australian history at $130 million, $100 million, and $95 million.
Point Piper was named after Captain John Piper, Naval Officer of Customs in colonial New South Wales from 1814 to 1827, who was granted land on the peninsula. The suburb's current character as Australia's most exclusive residential address developed through the twentieth century as the harbour waterfront properties on Wolseley Road attracted successive generations of the country's most prominent families. Notable residents have included former Prime Ministers Malcolm Turnbull and Sir Billy McMahon, Frank Lowy, Lachlan Murdoch, and Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes. John Symond's harbour estate Wingadal on Wingadal Place reportedly cost over $70 million to build, excluding land.
Despite its global reputation for luxury, 71 percent of Point Piper properties are apartments rather than freestanding houses. The apartments on the non-waterfront streets and the prestige apartment buildings on New South Head Road represent the majority of the suburb's moving activity. A non-waterfront house sells for around $17 million. The same price buys a luxury apartment with harbour views. The Wunulla Road side of the peninsula faces east across Rose Bay toward Vaucluse and Sydney Heads, and the homes there are grand in their own right even if they lack the direct-to-Bridge views of Wolseley Road.
Point Piper's eleven streets and peninsula geography create a specific access environment. New South Head Road on the southern boundary carries the through-traffic for the eastern suburbs and generates consistent flow. The residential streets running north off New South Head Road toward the harbour — Wolseley Road, Wunulla Road, Wingadal Place, and the surrounding blocks — narrow as they approach the waterfront, have no through route, and serve only the peninsula residents and their visitors. The loading position for any Point Piper property is confirmed during quoting rather than identified on arrival.
The waterfront estates on Wolseley Road and the other harbour-facing streets at Point Piper represent some of the most significant furniture, artwork, and personal effects that we encounter anywhere in Sydney. These are properties where every piece has been individually selected and where the expectation is that everything is handled with proportionate care. Billy walks these properties during quoting. Floor protection is standard on all hard surfaces. Nothing is rushed. If a piece requires more time, it gets more time.
For the apartment buildings on New South Head Road and the upper streets of the peninsula, the standard pre-move strata coordination applies — Jet handles lift bookings, loading dock access, and building management notification before every Point Piper apartment move. The compact nature of the suburb means that every property is known to us before we arrive. We also cover neighbouring Rose Bay, Double Bay, and Darling Point regularly.
