About this space

Perched on a clifftop in North Balgowlah with sweeping views across bushland and distant coastline, Saltbush House is a refined, resort-style home designed for light, flow, and visual impact. Just 25 minutes from Sydney CBD and 7 minutes from Manly, this east-facing, two-storey residence offers a layered backdrop for shoots that blend natural serenity with architectural polish.

The rendered exterior is softened by spotted gum accents, while limestone stepping stones lead through the generous front yard to an oversized front door—setting the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, pale oak flooring, white walls, and rustic Oregon timber in the kitchen offer a calming, coastal palette that photographs beautifully in every direction. Natural light pours in from the north-facing windows, illuminating a series of open-plan zones ideal for lifestyle content, interviews, and branded stills.

The downstairs layout includes a sleek kitchen, open dining and living areas, a powder room with shower, a built-in study, and a separate TV/playroom—allowing multiple scenes to be captured without disruption. The bright timber staircase leads to four bedrooms upstairs: a king master retreat with balcony and ensuite, one queen, two singles, and a large family bathroom complete with freestanding stone bath and skylit shower.

Outdoors, the home really comes into its own. A cliff-edge heated swimming pool is surrounded by natural limestone pavers and elevated above uninterrupted bushland, offering a breathtaking backdrop for wellness, fashion, or resort-style shoots. The entertaining deck features a built-in BBQ, and a sculptural outdoor copper shower with hot and cold water adds a refined, elemental touch. It’s a space where every angle offers texture, depth, and atmosphere.

With off-street and on-street parking, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and flexible indoor-outdoor zones, Saltbush House is set up to support all-day productions with ease. It’s family-friendly, visually serene, and highly usable—a perfect mix for brands, editorial teams, and film crews alike.
