The words “Sans Souci” in French mean, ‘’without care’’. Although Sans Souci is more commonly known in New South Wales for its beautiful waters and lovely scenery. It’s 25 minutes away from the Sydney CBD and is home to 8574 people.
With Sans Souci being more residentially orientated, its main shopping areas are located on Rocky Point Road, and another located at the intersection of Clareville Avenue and Russell Avenue. For those who like to read, there is a library on Russell Avenue. There are also a selection of retail shops near the library and two public schools within the area.
Sans Souci’s development started in the 1830’s with Catherine Cooper being the first to have received 100 acres of land where she built a home with her husband, Robert Cooper Jr. Later on, Catherine & Robert Cooper operated a distillery in Rocky Point which was then called Charlotte Point.
Regardless of the fact that Sans Souci means ‘without care’ in French, the suburb was actually named from a grand house built on Rocky Point Road, bought in 1853 by Thomas Holt; who later sold it & moved to Marrickville. William Rust who bought the house turned it into a successful hotel, despite its isolation.
There are five soccer fields and play grounds in Sans Souci along with a sailing, motor boat, yacht club & leisure centre.
