Ember & Aqua—Luxury Barnhouse on the Golf Course
Summary:
Overlooking Dunsborough Lakes Golf Course, this chic barnhouse features striking architecture and refined details. Tailored for relaxed living, the home offers a spacious living area, a chef’s kitchen, and a workspace. Step outside to a private alfresco haven with a glowing pool, fire pit, and dining area—perfect for sunset gatherings. With central climate control, ample parking, and a prime location near the town centre, beaches and wineries, it’s the ideal base for a seamless coastal escape.
The Space:
Modern industrial design meets Scandinavian-inspired styling in this architect-designed barnhouse, set on the edge of Dunsborough Lakes Golf Course. Inside, the main living area invites you to sink into a sculptural curved sofa facing a large TV, while just nearby, an elegant seating nook with velvet armchairs offers a peaceful corner for morning coffee.
The sleek kitchen features matte black cabinetry, a stone island, gas cooktop, premium appliances and a Nespresso machine—perfect for everything from lazy breakfasts to celebratory dinners. Just beyond, a timber dining table seats eight beneath striking pendant lights, making every meal feel special.
This home features four bedrooms spread across two levels. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite offers elevated privacy with a king bed, chic seating, an ensuite, and tranquil treetop views. Downstairs, the second bedroom includes a king bed, the third offers a queen, and the fourth is fitted with a single-over-double bunk—ideal for kids or friends. These rooms share two stylish bathrooms with walk-in showers, including one with a freestanding tub for relaxing soaks. A full laundry with a washer, dryer and generous bench space adds convenience for longer stays.
Outside, the private deck unfolds into a beautifully landscaped outdoor haven, complete with a sparkling pool, electric BBQ, dining table and garden seating—all perfectly positioned to soak in serene views of the golf course. As the sun dips low, gather around the fire pit with a glass of wine and soak up the golden hour glow.
A dedicated workspace tucked under the staircase allows for quiet productivity. Central air conditioning and heating throughout, along with split-system air conditioning in the minor bedrooms, ensure comfort year-round. A highchair and travel cot are included for easy family stays. On-site parking is available for two vehicles across the garage and driveway.

Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We were very disappointed with the main bedroom as what is described as a “loft-style” main bedroom is actually just a loft above the kitchen, overlooking the living space, so there is no privacy whatsoever and no way to close out the noise if one wants to go to sleep whileothers are in the living area or watching TV (which is likely when there is a family or group of friends in the house). There is also no privacy when coming out of the bathroom. The lack of a private, quiet space was frustrating and detracted from our stay. aThere are no cupboards or wardrobes in any of the other bedrooms so although the house can sleep up to 8 people one has nowhere to unpack and put one’s clothes etc making it messy in the relatively small bedroom spaces. Overall the house is well-equipped and spacious and is in a lovely position.
