About Ryhope

Ryhope is a very small rural locality in the City of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, established in 1881. With a population of just 35 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, it is one of the smallest localities in the Lake Macquarie local government area. The locality sits approximately eight kilometres west of Toronto NSW, on the western fringe of the Lake Macquarie basin, surrounded by low-lying bushland.

The lifestyle in Ryhope is quiet and semi-rural, with residents living on scattered rural properties amid native bush. The locality offers minimal local amenities; everyday needs are met in the nearby towns of Morisset or Toronto, both within a short drive. The broader Lake Macquarie area provides access to the lake for recreation, while the M1 Pacific Motorway connects residents to Newcastle and Sydney.

Ryhope falls under postcode 2283 and is governed by City of Lake Macquarie Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lake Macquarie electorate.
