A private headland, four residences, one family at a time.
Where the escarpment meets the Tasman, the day is measured in tides.
Forty acres of coastal heath. No neighbours but the gannets.
Gannet Head began as a 1931 lighthouse keeper's cottage. Today it is a sandstone and spotted-gum retreat for up to twelve guests, reimagined by a Sydney studio around three things: light, salt air and silence. You book the headland, not a room.
Wake to whales passing below the cliff from May to November. Coffee from the estate roaster, sourdough baked in the wood oven overnight.
A twelve-seat spotted-gum table, a private chef on request, and South Coast oysters shucked at the bench.
Every suite opens to the sound of the water. Hand-loomed linen, Tasmanian oak floors and deep stone baths.
A cedar sauna on the rock shelf and an ocean pool filled by the tide. The Milky Way, uninterrupted.
Four houses across the headland, booked together as one estate.
The restored 1931 cottage, now the main living pavilion.
Cantilevered over the rock shelf with a freestanding stone bath.
Low and quiet among the banksias, with a private reading room.
Steps from the ocean pool and cedar sauna.
The quietest place we stayed all year, and the hardest to leave.Coastal Living Journal
