About this space

Nestled in amongst its lush Victorian landscape in Red Hill, Polperro Farmhouse on Donaldson’s Road is a celebration of the iconic Australian 1950’s holiday home. It conjures a familiar sense of nostalgia, reawakening memories of yore.

The luxury three-bedroom farmhouse for guests has been renovated in conjunction with renowned design firm Hecker Guthrie. Through considered curation and styling, the focus is on social living at its core, with a resounding pull toward the outdoor elements. This working vineyard property is set with a backdrop of a mystical pine forest, surrounded by an established European garden setting and distant ocean views.

Throughout the property, a series of spaces have been created for retreat, to rest and nourish, that also connect to the more active living, kitchen and outdoor elements. Inspired by the fifties era, and a fusion of the typified country and beach-style aesthetic, the result is a series of spaces that feel as though each element has been collected, over many years, layered and woven together on site. Envisioned as both a summer and winter destination, the relaxed relatability of the familiar is carried through to the select furniture, objects, styling and artwork.
