The space
Boolarong featured in Habitus magazine (2011), quoting architect Shane Thompson: 'The design has a timeless appeal, one that is authentic rather than artificial, and practical enough to easily accommodate all ages'. Spotted Gum timber screens to mid-level and upper level windows are a distinctive external feature of the house. Exterior walls are clad in CSR Wunderlich terracotta tiles –referencing the painted fibre cement sheeting of traditional houses and beach shacks. The hoop pine interior provides a casual and relaxed ambience'. The house has been designed for maximum cross ventilation and captures the prevailing breezes.

Michael and I have been escaping to Straddie (Minjerribah) for over 10 years – we love the beaches, natural beauty and wildlife. Boolarong is our ‘happy place’ to relax, unwind and recharge and enjoy the slower pace of the Island. We hope you enjoy our holiday home as much as we do.
