Sydney + | The Aussie Downton Abbey: Vaucluse House 🏰🌿

#summervacay Nestled near Rose Bay, Vaucluse House is a charming little estate that once belonged to one of Australia’s founding fathers. If you’re tired of the usual beach scenes, this historic mansion is a perfect peaceful escape for your free time. Getting There: I went with a friend from Zetland—about a 30-minute taxi ride, costing around $100 return. Visiting Info: Open Wednesday to Sunday, 10 AM – 4 PM. Entry is completely free and no booking is needed—just show up and explore! Photo Tips: For those wanting that perfect Insta shot, rock black & white or warm red/brown tones for a classy French vintage vibe. And if you’ve got a fairy-tale dress, definitely bring it! The estate entrance features a lovely flower bed and a quaint fountain—ideal for stunning photos. Vaucluse House is a little hidden gem that adds a touch of old-world charm to your Sydney adventures. #vauclusehouse #sydneyhiddengems #aussiedowntonabbey #historichomes #frenchvintagevibes #rosebayviews
