Perched above the white sands of Dutchman’s Beach, Dutchies Retreat is a refined coastal home designed to embrace the view at every turn. From the moment you enter, the horizon unfolds before you — endless blue water, treetop silhouettes and the gentle rhythm of the bay below.
Thoughtfully designed across two generous levels, the home embodies relaxed coastal elegance. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space forms the heart of the residence, anchored by a statement dining table for ten — perfectly positioned for long dinners as the sun sets across the water.
Seamless indoor–outdoor flow leads to the expansive entertainer’s balcony with BBQ, while a pathway from the base of the property delivers you directly to the sands of Dutchies within moments.
Upstairs, the private king master retreat offers elevated tranquillity. Downstairs, four king-zip bedrooms and a second lounge provide flexibility for extended families or two groups travelling together — allowing space to gather, and space to retreat.
Dutchies Retreat is where refined design meets barefoot coastal living.
PROPERTY SUITABLE FOR groups over the age of 25 and or family groups only.
