Cranbrook is a Victorian-era mansion in Rose Bay, a suburb of Sydney, Australia, built in 1859 as a private residence and substantially extended in 1873 and 1874 by architect John Horbury Hunt. From 1901 to 1917 it served as the residence of the Governor of New South Wales and, in that period, of the Governor-General of Australia. The building has since become part of Cranbrook School, Sydney, which was established on the grounds in July 1918.

Lot 2 was described as follows: "At the intersection of New South Head Road and Victoria Road is a stone built cottage residence at present occupied by Horbury Hunt Esq. containing hall dining and drawing rooms, 2 bedrooms, servant's room, kitchen, bathroom, boy's room and library." Some time after this Horbury Hunt must have purchased the property as he sold it in his own name in 1902.
