Aurelia Darling Boutique Poolside Retreat near CBD

Discover this mid-century gem in Darlinghurst, positioned between Potts Point, Kings Cross and Surry Hills. Unwind in the chic living area with a Netflix series and a cocktail from the retro bar cart. Cook in the full kitchen, work at the dedicated desk, and end the day soaking in the tub with Harbour Bridge glimpses. Head to the rooftop for a dip in the shared pool or a BBQ with skyline views. With the waterfront, CBD, and train station all a short stroll away, Sydney’s best is at your door.
Tucked within one of Sydney’s most dynamic postcodes, this chic apartment blends comfort and character in a single-level setting. Inside, the living area feels straight out of a design magazine, styled with vibrant colours and mid-century modern flair. Sink into the mustard-toned sofa, stream your favourite Netflix series, and mix a cocktail at the vintage-style brass bar cart. Stylish details such as sculptural lighting and distinctive artwork set a tone that’s both playful and elegant.

The kitchen is compact yet highly functional, with an oven, dishwasher, fridge, Nespresso machine, and all the essentials for cooking at home. Share a meal or a bottle of wine at the timber dining table, paired with bold red chairs that bring personality to the space.

The queen-sized bedroom is a calming retreat, styled in earthy tones and soft textures to invite restful nights. A dedicated workspace sits by the window, offering natural light and city views—ideal for working remotely or journaling your Sydney adventures. The ensuite feels like a private spa, featuring a generous vanity, a walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub positioned to capture glimpses of the Harbour Bridge through the window. Laundry is made easy with shared paid facilities in the building, including a washer and dryer.

On sunny days, head to the rooftop to dip in the sparkling pool, fire up the BBQ, hang laundry on the clotheslines, or simply take in sweeping skyline views. A large portable convection heater and ceiling fans ensure year-round comfort. While there is no parking on-site, several paid options are just a five-minute walk away—but with cafés, shops, and Sydney’s most vibrant precincts all within walking distance, you may not need a car at all.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire space to yourselves, as well as access to the building's shared facilities including a rooftop pool and BBQ area. Please make yourselves at home!
