Within moments of arriving at Moonlight Escape, you realise how extraordinary it is. Situated in the unspoilt beauty of the coastal
headlands, the property boasts views of the great southern ocean to the east and west. With nothing but the sighing of the wind, the
pressures of city life begin to fall away.
Stepping into the house you enter into a space of incredible light and beauty. Moonlight Escape is a piece of art, testament to the genius that is Glen Murcutt. While he is Australian’s most celebrated architect, very little of his work is open for public viewing. Moonlight Escape offers the very rare opportunity, not just of seeing Murcutt’s work, but intimately experiencing it in a way that is accessible and affordable.
Murcott’s sensitivity to the environment in which his buildings are situated creates a unique feel, and at Moonlight the stunning saw-tooth roof with its high north-facing windows fill the house with light. Nothing can describe the beauty of watching the shadows chase their way across the unadorned walls, and standing in a house lit only by the brilliant light of a full moon has to be experienced to be appreciated.
The house itself has been fitted out with the finest European furnishings and appliances. The kitchen, with its stunning bench is guaranteed to delight the gourmet cook. The beautiful Italian dining table is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed dinner with friends. Once you have eaten, retreat to deep comfort of the lounge and enjoy the open fire, itself a signature Murcutt piece.
The master bedroom boasts a Savoiur bed, one of only a handful in the southern hemispheres. This handcrafted bed from London, much-loved by the rich and famous, will offer you a night of perfect slumber. Awake refreshed and see our local kangaroos grazing in front of your bedroom window.
The en suite offers an experience of unparalleled luxury. Let your cares be washed away beneath the amazing shower, or enjoy the unhurried pleasure of soaking in the stunning bath as you watch a star lit sky.
For your entertainment, there is a fully integrated Bang & Olfsen system, which allows the children to be entertained as they watch their favourite DVD in one room, while you listen to your own music as you sip a glass of wine in front of the fire, or chat to friends as you prepare dinner.
Everything is here to guarantee your perfect holiday, be it a weekend with friends or a romantic holiday for two. But be prepared, in the end the house itself will seduce you with its beauty, soothing body and mind into a state of gentle bliss.
