About this space

Located just steps from Maroubra Beach in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Barefoot & Salty is a thoughtfully curated coastal retreat with three distinctly styled outdoor zones, natural textures throughout, and interiors that balance relaxed warmth with refined detail. Recently featured on Better Homes and Gardens (2025), this home offers variety, privacy, and light—making it a standout location for film, photo, and lifestyle shoots.

What sets this property apart is its trio of shootable outdoor spaces, each offering a different tone, palette, and energy:

1. Coastal Front Facade:
A statement white curved wall with 1950s breeze blocks sets the scene, with a weathered timber boardwalk leading through a garden of architectural cacti and succulents. Rattan furniture, a cane hanging chair, and a copper outdoor shower frame a coastal-inspired entrance that’s both sculptural and serene.

2. Mineral Pool Courtyard:
Completely private and centrally located, the pool zone delivers luxury villa energy. A heated magnesium pool finished in green natural stone is surrounded by tropical planting, black cladded walls, limestone pavers, and a raised cactus bed. Lounge beds, umbrellas, antique urns, and a daybed complete the space, offering a lush backdrop ideal for fashion, swimwear, or wellness content.

3. Classic Aussie Backyard:
Expansive and grounded, the backyard features mature trees, shaded gardens, a generous lawn, BBQ area, large deck, and fire pit. It’s a flexible zone that works beautifully for family-style scenes, editorial storytelling, or full-day shoots needing space and variation.

Inside, the mood shifts to soft and light-filled.
The main living space is open-plan and styled in a warm neutral palette, with luxe lounge seating and sheer linen curtains. A second living room, featuring an olive linen sofa and artwork by Kara Rosenlund, opens via folding doors to the back deck—offering an easy flow between indoors and out.

The main bedroom is a calm sanctuary with a king bed layered in luxurious linen, handmade ceramic sconces, and direct access to the front porch with views of the hanging chair and frangipani tree. The ensuite continues the vibe with natural stone, soft neutrals, and antique timber elements.

The kitchen is crisp and functional, with a sliding glass splashback window that opens to pool and district views—perfect for behind-the-scenes shots or unexpected angles. The hallway, lined with louvred windows, draws sunlight deep into the home and offers additional sightlines to the pool.

Every space at Barefoot & Salty has been styled with a creative eye—from the day-spa-inspired bathroom to the garden vignettes and quiet luxury of the soft furnishings. With flexibility for up to 30 guests and multiple zones that can shoot like separate locations, this is a beachside haven built for content creation.
