Discover the Hidden Gem of the East

Woollahra Council’s little known yet largest natural asset, Cooper Park, spans across 38 acres of magical parklands. Whether looking out across the park or walking within its grounds, an exquisite tranquillity infuses the gentle air, permeating even the busiest soul. The park’s impending heritage listing illustrates just how exceptional a place this is, yet few in the East are even aware of its existence.


Designed in the 1930s with pathways, bridges and various other themes of romance and pleasure, surprises await around every corner of these enchanting parklands and an extraordinary range of trees and plant life abound. The acreage is gently dotted with such novelties as Moon Bridge, Rosewood Walk and Coral Steps, where meandering pathways, ponds and weirs, secret grottoes, gazebos, sandstone staircases and even a babbling brook and earthen amphitheatre never fail to enchant.

And it is not only the park that provides an attraction to this very special part of Bellevue Hill. The village atmosphere, local cosy cafes, bustling bakeries and boutique shopping are reminiscent of yesteryear’s easier, more serene and enjoyable way of life. Enjoy a bite and an excellent caffeine hit at the Grumpy Baker, Coffee, Tea and Me, Tucker or Crave Deli Café. Spoil yourself at Chrissy and Co, Crave Wares or Studio B, or pick up a fine drop at the Bellevue Hill Bottle Shop.

North facing atop a dramatic cliff overlooking Cooper Park, the Splendour development’s residences rise majestically above this extraordinary setting. Splendour Bellevue Hill is a highly boutique development comprising of 25 boutique apartments inspired by their heavenly natural surrounds. With panoramic views across the park’s tree canopy, these superbly crafted homes enjoy a sublimely tranquil setting that will make your heart sing. These idyllic properties draw from the powerful sense of timelessness created by Cooper Park’s topography that was formed during the Jurassic age.

Designed by a team of multi award-winning architects, interior and landscape designers, these outstanding properties offer a life of serenity and supreme beauty, where you will abide in arboreal bliss. Effortlessly elegant, aesthetically outstanding and perfectly positioned, each Splendour home is a finely tuned work of architectural art and refined simplicity.

Each Splendour home will allow you to entertain in the most expansive of styles, enjoying wide frontage living and dining spaces that extend seamlessly out to full-width balconies or gorgeously landscaped gardens. Nature will come from the outside into your fabulously finished home, with timber veneer and striking stone featuring throughout. The carefully considered development, garden and rooftop landscaping perfectly complements the magnificent Cooper Park tree canopy, creating a verdant backdrop to each home and showcasing nature at its most beautiful.
