Charli Robinson has sold her one-bedroom Sydney unit.
Former Hi-5 star Charli Robinson has sold her Sydney investment apartment for a record $2.5m after a very “nervous” auction.
The TV presenter and former radio host has owned the one-bedroom Coogee unit in the landmark Coogee Waters building since 2012.
It hit the market last month with a short marketing campaign before going under the hammer.
“I’m proud to say we achieved a new suburb record for Coogee for a one bedroom at $2.5m,” said Ms Robinson, who has two daughters with her racing car driver partner Liam Talbot.

The epic view from her one-bedroom Coogee apartment.
“My goodness I was nervous given all the major headlines that morning of properties getting passed in at auction and prices plummeting.
“Liam held my hand the whole way as we watched from Brissy home via a link from our fabulous auctioneer Emma Brown-Garrett.
“It started low and I was nervous but Liam told me wise words ‘it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish’ and I certainly had a smile at the finish.”

Ms Robinson lived in the unit for a short time when she was filming Dancing With The Stars and hosting a national night show on 2dayFM.
She has managed it as a holiday home for the past decade.
“Work often has me filming in Sydney, which means I’m frequently in hotels and rarely able to enjoy this apartment to its fullest,” she said.
“It’s a beautiful space that deserves to be lived in and loved — an exceptional opportunity for someone to make it their own treasured retreat.”

The unit has a northeast wing position with secure lift access and a new wraparound entertainer’s terrace.
“This apartment has the convenience of a restaurant downstairs for your morning coffee, the beautiful beach just steps away, and those iconic coastal walks in both directions,” Ms Robinson said.
“But the real magic happens the moment you walk through the door — it’s genuinely breathtaking, with nothing but pure ocean views.
“Being on the top level means uninterrupted water views from every window, along with a sense of peace and privacy that’s hard to find.”
The one-bedroom Coogee apartment has been rented out as a holiday home for the past 10 years.

Ms Robinson and her partner Liam, who are based in Queensland, are no stranger to real estate.
Last year, they sold their Bulimba investment property in Brisbane for $3.36m.
The family’s Chandler home base was bought by Mr Talbot in 2019, almost a year after their first daughter was born – with some of the perks being it has a massive 16 car park spaces, a separate two bedroom apartment for guests, wine cellar and privacy galore sitting on over 1ha of land.
Naomi Ng and James Ball of Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty – Double Bay alongside Stephanie Farah of NG Farah marketed the Coogee property.
