Rozelle

We’ll admit it—Rozelle wasn’t really on our radar. But after one too many parents whispered “You haven’t done Rozelle yet?!” we knew we had to take a closer look. And honestly? We’re eating our words (along with pastries, pub lunches and a sneaky square of gourmet chocolate).

Turns out, Rozelle is packed with things to do, whether you’re rolling deep with your plus one or flying solo for some long overdue me-time. Think: a bath house to bliss out in, art classes for mini makers, weekend markets for a rummage, and a lineup of pubs that know how to do family-friendly well.

Basically, it’s a choose-your-own-adventure kind of suburb—and this guide is your starting point.
