Choosing between two streets in the same suburb usually comes down to the fine print. Camellia Circle and Dunban Road sit minutes apart in Woy Woy and share the same town centre, rail line and high school catchment. What separates them is shape and feel. Camellia Circle is a compact, low-traffic loop inside the historic Garden of Aden estate, while Dunban Road is one of the suburb’s longer through-roads with a broader mix of housing.
Two Streets, Two Different Characters
Camellia Circle is a residential loop of about 1,325 metres with 63 properties. It is a self-contained pocket rather than a through-road, so most traffic is local. Dunban Road runs roughly 2,084 metres and is listed at 110 properties, crossing several blocks along the way.
The history differs too. Camellia Circle sits in the Garden of Aden estate, built on a former flower garden and pond and consistently described as a quiet, tightly held pocket. Dunban Road was named for Reuben Dunban, an early Woy Woy land and auction figure who gave several local streets family names. These are two different kinds of character, not two points on a single scale.
Housing Stock and Who Calls Each Street Home
Camellia Circle is near-uniform. The street is mostly 1960s brick-and-tile detached houses on established garden blocks, with lots commonly between about 480 and 760 square metres and a few larger holdings up to 1,037 square metres. Its owner-occupied share sits at around 80%, with the remaining 20% rented, a tightly held pattern.
Dunban Road is more varied. Original detached houses and older cottages date mainly from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, with villa and townhouse infill added around 1980, including addresses such as 1/6, 2/2, 2/88 and 6/2-4 Dunban Road. Domain property profiles record original houses like 31 Dunban Road built in 1965 and 59 Dunban Road built in 1975, plus villa infill such as 1/6 Dunban Road built in 1980. House blocks typically run about 510 to 850 square metres, and around 75% of its roughly 94 houses plus villas are owner-occupied. Camellia Circle is the consistent, low-turnover detached-house street; Dunban Road is the wider net, with a lower-priced villa entry point and two distinct housing eras.
What It Costs to Buy on Each Street
Recent detached-house sales on Camellia Circle have landed between about $930,000 and $1,230,000 for three and four-bedroom homes on 500 to 750 square metre blocks.

Its villa and unit stock sits lower, from roughly $327,000 to $665,000, with a two-bedroom villa at 1/6 Dunban Road selling for $575,000 and another at 6/2-4 Dunban Road listed from $635,000 to $665,000.
Like for like, the two streets are closer than they look. Recent detached medians work out to about $997,500 on 553 square metres for Camellia Circle and $1,000,000 on 556 square metres for Dunban Road, or roughly $1,840 and $1,801 per square metre. Camellia Circle’s larger blocks and custom homes give it the higher ceiling, while Dunban Road’s unit stock creates the lower floor. Woy Woy’s median house price sits around $1.1 million, with 12-month growth of 13.9%, a 0.83% vacancy rate and median house rents around $630 per week.
Getting Around from Each Street

The town centre is about 900 metres away and the Brisbane Water waterfront roughly 400 metres, according to a recent listing.
Dunban Road’s transport picture varies along its length, which is expected for a road of about 2.1 kilometres. At the low-numbered end near Everglades Country Club, a sold villa listing records Deepwater Plaza about 1.2 kilometres away and Woy Woy Station about 1.45 kilometres away. At the far eastern end around Cogra Road, the nearest bus stop is about 35 metres away, while the station is roughly 4.9 kilometres on foot.

Schools and Catchments
The primary school catchment is the one school-level difference. Camellia Circle falls to Woy Woy Public School, about a five minute walk away, with around 365 students. Dunban Road falls to Woy Woy South Public School, about a nine minute walk, with around 648 students.
Both streets share the Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus catchment for secondary years, and both sit within easy reach of the Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus for Years 10 to 12. Families on either street have comparable access to independent and Catholic options such as St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School and Green Point Christian College.
Lifestyle and Everyday Amenities
Camellia Circle’s draw is its quiet garden-estate setting and closeness to the water. The Brisbane Water waterfront reserve is about 400 metres away, a few minutes’ walk, with a short stroll to the boat ramp, station and shops, and Gurdon Reserve and Stoney Park nearby.
Dunban Road’s on-street anchor is Everglades Country Club at 9-13 Dunban Road, home to an 18-hole golf course, bowling greens and dining, with Stoney Park, Gurdon Reserve and Panorama Park close by.
Both streets lean on the same town centre. Deepwater Plaza holds Coles, Kmart and more than 45 retailers opposite the station, Peninsula Plaza has Woolworths, and there are around 51 restaurants, bars and cafes, including the waterfront Woy Woy Fishermen’s Wharf. The three kilometre Woy Woy Wharf to Blackwall foreshore walk runs along the water. Camellia Circle leads on waterfront and quiet-loop living; Dunban Road leads on on-street recreation and dining.
Which Street Is Right for You?
Camellia Circle is the premium, quiet garden-estate loop: low traffic, near-uniform detached housing, a short walk to the waterfront and a higher price ceiling. Dunban Road is the longer, more varied through-road: a lower entry point through its villa and unit stock, Everglades Country Club on the doorstep, and early-suburb heritage behind the name.
Both streets share the same town centre, rail line, secondary school catchment and suburb-wide market conditions. The choice comes down to street form, dwelling mix and budget. The questions below cover the specifics buyers search for.
