About this space

Welcome to Barefoot and Salty, a beachside retreat located at Maroubra Beach in the heart of Sydneys’ Eastern Suburbs. 

Barefoot and Salty is warm and inviting, filled with natural light and has a beautiful relaxed energy. 

Barefoot is unique as it offers THREE very distinct and different outdoor areas which were featured on Channel 7’s BETTER HOMES and GARDENS 2025.

Outdoor areas:

1: Front Facade – coastal

With a statement front fence consisting of a white curved wall and 1950’s breeze blocks the creativity starts before you enter the property. On entry you walk along a timber weathered boardwalk, surrounded by a garden of bladed succulents and column art cacti, a mix of coastal and architectural shaped plants.

A cane hanging chair, copper outdoor shower and frangipani tree creates a relaxed and peaceful coastal space. Rattan outdoor furniture on the naturally greyed timber front porch is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the garden.

2: Mineral Pool – luxury villa vibes 

The pool area is located in the centre of the property and is completely private. The heated magnesium pool is tiled in a beautiful green natural stone and is surrounded by leafy tropical planting as well as a stunning row of cacti in a raised planter box. 

Lounge beds, day bed, pot plants, antique urns and umbrellas with black cladded walls harmonising with limestone pavers makes this space a gorgeous private haven, a perfect backdrop for any shoot.

3: Australian backyard

The backyard is a typical Australian backyard with established trees, shaded gardens and expansive lawn. A large deck, entertaining area, BBQ and fire pit. This is the largest of the 3 outdoor areas.
