Love at first sight, simple as that. The bold, contemporary steel and glass design and its spectacular position on a little promontory in the curve of the road, right opposite the Hazards at Freycinet National Park, are impossible to ignore.

Answer the siren's call, go beyond the big stone wall that protects it from the road, and you'll find a glass pavilion that lets the natural beauty of the sea, sky, mountains, flora and fauna work their magic on you.

Every detail has been taken care of, from a gourmet stocked fridge and pantry and fully automated coffee machine, to underfloor heating, yoga mats and wetsuits hanging in the hall cupboard.

You could spend all day on the long low sofa staring at the uninterrupted view. You could walk the original convict road that hugs the shoreline. You could swim on the private beach. The thing you won't want to do is leave.
