And the villas - 103 of them, discreetly dotted around the lagoon - are split-level, slate-grey and white, filled with Appelles Apothecary goodies and books you actually want to read.
Tatler, January 2017Needless to say, the design of the guest villas was inspired by nature, and while amenities vary, theyre all drenched with natural light and smartly outfitted with timber floors, stone fixtures, and leather detailing... some face the beach, others a lake. But they all feel delightfully private, tucked away into the forest.
Forbes, September 2016Australias newest beach resort combines impeccable environmental credentials with a lavish dose of bling. The result is enthralling. Guests stay in luxury eco-cabins with access to a surf beach and wetlands. Why stay anywhere else? Expert rating: 9/10.

Those who do manage to secure a reservation here are bound to go home raving about the place.
Guide Michelin, October 2025Four corner bedrooms, each with a balcony, flank a central living area where sliding glass walls open to a vast sun-drenched terrace and 25-metre infinity pool overlooking a private beach.
Condé Nast Traveller (UK), July 2017The pared-back palette of the minimalist interiors, sliding glass walls that appear to float under the copper roof and vast granite balconies all draw the eye naturally outwards, towards New Zealand's famed Bay of Islands.
