Sit pretty

A 90-minute drive – or a 20-minute seaplane ride – north of Sydney, Pretty Beach House celebrates its location in Bouddi National Park with a sensitive design that nods to nature throughout; think local sandstone and mudbricks, upcycled timber and muted fabrics. All four pavilions enjoy beautiful views of ancient angophoras stepped down a hill to Pretty Beach, and it’s an easy stroll to the water, where private boat charters depart on halfday excursions to remote beaches and coves, with seasonal dolphin and whale spotting included. Meals can be enjoyed alfresco, in-room or in the dining area of the main house, where you’ll also find a bar, expansive cellar and infinity pool. prettybeachhouse.com
