SEIDLER HOUSE

WHERE: Joadja, NSW. FITS: Eight people. YOU’LL EACH FORK OUT:

From $200 per night.

THE VIBE: Designed by famed Austrian-born architect Harry Seidler and built in 1999 (when it was known as the “Berman House”), this award-winning feat of modernism is perched on a cliffside in the NSW Southern Highlands, just two hours south of Sydney. The two fireplaces, spectacular pool and 60 hectares of private gardens make up for what the wi-fi connection lacks, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are guaranteed to make for a better view than the one through your phone’s screen.

COME HERE WITH: People who’ll appreciate the architecture. WHEN YOU NEED SOME ALONE TIME: Trawl through the vintage finds and antique wares at Dirty Janes in nearby Bowral. ] viewretreats.com/retreat/seidler-house
