Seaside escape: the ultimate holiday retreat

Antique iron chairs add a rustic touch to the pool area.

The daybed, shipped from Bali, is softened with embroidered cushions.

The home’s inviting look showcases a casual mix of texture, including rattan armchairs, and two plush cream sofas. Patterned cushions introduce the classic combination of blue and white, while farmed Queensland coral and fishing pots, used as pendant lights, add interest. 

The kitchen features a slick benchtop and splashback in Caesarstone ‘Ice Snow’. Miele appliances and a Smeg rangehood give this kitchen a professional feel.

 The Miele steam oven and regular oven are conveniently placed side by side in the island bench.

The owner had the ingenious idea of raising the dishwasher, positioned between the sink and barbecue area, to waist height.

The neutral palette in the main bedroom creates a calm atmosphere for sleeping.

A mix of materials in the ensuite adds depth and interest to the neutral scheme. The Caesarstone benchtop in ‘Snow’ pairs neatly with sandstone-look vitrified porcelain tiles.

With a panoramic view of the river, the light-filled bathroom is a favourite spot to relax after a long day
