Dutchies Retreat – Coastal Family Home
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.

Dutchies Retreat was just perfect for our crew. Having the flexibility of twin or king beds in each room was ideal. The house is so beautiful and well appointed and there were separate areas to hang out in, which worked well for people trying to keep up with work also. It was lovely and clean and having the beach on the doorstep was a bonus. Would definitely stay again!
