Nestled within Clifton Gardens Reserve, Ripples Chowder Bay occupies a rare slice of Sydney history - a 19th-century submarine miners’ depot, where original timber framing and a spiral staircase, once linking workshops to storage chambers, remain proudly intact. This storied backdrop sets the tone for a design that embraces the site’s playful past as a beloved recreational escape, layering pattern, texture, and antique-inspired furnishings throughout.

Inside, curated vintage artworks and warm, diffused lighting shape an intimate and inviting atmosphere. The main dining room’s heritage elements converse effortlessly with tactile materials and a rich palette that feels both timeless and fresh. Outdoors, the alfresco setting is elevated with rattan chairs, warm marble detailing, and floral embroidered seating - balancing casual charm with contemporary elegance.

Ripples is a layered, soulful retreat - where tradition and modernity meet on Sydney Harbour’s edge.
