About this property

One-Dunny Beach House

This architecturally designed beach house by Kennedy Nolan fuses many influences into the perfect family getaway location. Cool in summer and warmed in winter by a slow-combustion wood heater, this eco-friendly hidden gem is surrounded by indigenous flora and fauna. The outdoor, private sitting area leads into the open-plan kitchen, dining, and sunken lounge area.

There are two king bedrooms and one large bunk room with four king singles. The shower and toilet are separate from a generous bathroom and laundry that leads out to the side airing deck and private outdoor hot and cold shower.

The kitchen offers ample stainless steel benches and is fully equipped with all you need. The beautiful timber dining table separates the kitchen from the lush, sunken lounge area. Sit back, relax and listen.

A native, zen-like retreat full of quality and charm

We had a delightful stay at 'One Dunny', which is a name that belies the beauty and style of this place. Very cosy, the fire and oil heaters were more than enough on a cold weekend, and the central courtyard with candles was lovely for twilight drinks. So near the beach and a really special, stylish building to be part of for a few days. I would have loved a house book, telling interested guests about the architectural features and eco-values, and the best local tips for wines etc. A few new soaps and extra touches for travelers would also be great, but it was fab as it was.
