Inspiration on Wedgetail

Eagle Bay From $1430 per night eaglebayresidences.com.au Modernist meets naturalistic at the tip of Cape Naturaliste in Western Australia’s wild South West. Featuring a streamlined exterior and monochrome interiors, Inspiration on Wedgetail looms above Geographe Bay in prime viewing position for Indian Ocean sunsets and whales passing by on their annual migration. While the views are something else, the real luxury of this property is space. It sleeps 14 comfortably over three levels and has so many tempting entertainment areas, you’ll need a whistle and search team to round up everyone at mealtimes. Picture the life you could lead in an oceanfront home with seven bedrooms, five ensuites, two kitchens, two powder rooms, two spacious living areas, various balconies and decks, a 20-metre indoor/outdoor swimming pool and a 12person spa, not to mention the barbecue, pizza oven and poolside cocktail bar. Plus the table tennis and pool tables, 12-seat home cinema and the gym overlooking the pool and spa. The pièce de résistance for family fun? A two-lane bowling alley complete with sportsman’s bar. If house guests could ever bear to leave this property, they’d find a pleasant walk to Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, exceptional Margaret River vineyards (a 45-minute drive south), caves to explore and sensational surf. If seven bedrooms isn’t big enough for your brood, book sister property The Grand in tandem. It’s just 500 metres away and comes with another seven bedrooms plus a pool, cinema and spa. No bowling alley, sadly.
