 Location

Overlooking the bay and beach, Deep Water Bay is an exclusive low-rise residential area nestled between Shouson Hill and Repulse Bay. It is not as developed as Repulse Bay and many of the apartments have stunning views over the South China Sea or the golf course, and are within walking distance of the beach.

 Accommodation

Properties are low-rise apartments and houses, many of which are set in small developments with good recreational facilities. Some properties are in older condition and may be in need of some renovation work.

 Transport

With its close proximity to the Aberdeen Tunnel the commute into Central is about 10 minutes but can take considerably longer during rush hour. Public light buses are frequent and there are always passing taxis to take you into central or shopping in nearby Repulse Bay, Aberdeen or Stanley village. Deepwater Bay is well serviced with KMB buses and public light buses running throughout the day between Central and Stanley.
