Imagine starting your day with views across the bay, a walk along the waterfront, and the freedom to spend your time doing more of what you enjoy.
Set on the shores of Woolooware Bay, Woolooware Shores is an award-winning waterfront retirement community in the heart of the Sutherland Shire. Recognised with the 2025 UDIA NSW Award for Excellence in Retirement Living, it offers an opportunity to enjoy a well-connected lifestyle in a beautiful coastal setting.
A limited collection of premium two and three-bedroom waterfront residences is now available. Thoughtfully designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living, these homes feature spacious open-plan layouts, contemporary finishes and private outdoor spaces. Many also enjoy stunning water views.
Life at Woolooware Shores is shaped by choice. Spend the morning walking along the bay, join a health and wellbeing program, catch up with friends over coffee, or simply relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. With fewer everyday chores to think about, there’s more time to enjoy the things that matter to you.
Adding to the lifestyle on offer, Heirloom, Sydney’s first waterfront dining destination within a seniors living community, is set to open later this year. It will provide a welcoming place for residents, family and friends to come together and connect.
Conveniently located close to Cronulla’s beaches, cafés, shopping precincts, healthcare services and transport links, Woolooware Shores brings together coastal tranquillity and everyday convenience.
With only a limited number of waterfront residences remaining, now is the ideal time to explore everything this award-winning community has to offer.
