The space
A coastal retreat that provides a perfect balance of modern comfort and nostalgia. Made from reclaimed materials and perfectly positioned in a quiet pocket, our cottage is a fabulous way to unwind and let the days slow down. Decorated with a down to earth coastal style, many of the pieces have been gathered from travels and local stores. Our guests often remark that they feel like they are being welcomed into a warm, much-loved home.

You can only hear the back beach waves from our quiet neighbourhood, and the birds. Our road is a back road, and unlike much of Rye and Blairgowrie you won't hear cars from the main roads.

You have a lush large landscaped front and back garden where you can unfold one of the sun lounges and read, watch the kids bounce for hours on the trampoline or just rest and enjoy the peace. BBQ always ready to go with a fantastic outdoor dining area. Help yourself to the plentiful herb garden for your cooking.
