Cockatoo Island Accommodation – The History
Our accommodation was built in the early 20th Century during the expansion of the Cockatoo Island Dockyard. The Heritage Holiday Houses were once home to the Island’s Medical Officer and Engineering Manager; the Harbour View Apartments were formerly the residences of the Launch Driver and Coxswain; the Garden Apartment originally housed the dockyard’s Medical Officer’s Assistant and the Police; while the Firestation Studio near the Parramatta Wharf was added in 1973, to garage the Cockatoo Island fire truck.
