Dune Beach House | Reimagined 1970s Shoot Location | Rye, VIC

Just 250 metres from the windswept Rye back beach on the Mornington Peninsula, Dune Beach House is a reimagined 1970s cedar retreat where original architectural details meet modern luxury. Fully restored in 2023, this striking shoot location brings together soaring timber ceilings, a dramatic mezzanine, and design-forward interiors to create a backdrop that’s both retro and refined—perfect for content teams, stylists, and filmmakers seeking coastal texture with high-end polish.

At the heart of the home is a breathtaking 7-metre-high full timber ceiling, which rises above the main living area and draws the eye up to the floating staircase and mezzanine-level master suite. This architectural centrepiece creates depth and volume rarely found in beachside properties, offering wide framing opportunities and a sense of space that’s ideal for both stills and motion.

The interiors are styled with impeccable taste, featuring key pieces from Sarah Ellison, Coco Republic, House of Orange, and Life Interiors. Every room is dressed with layered textures, curated lighting, and neutral-toned luxury. Luxe Cultiver bed linen, a collection of ceramic dinnerware, and premium soft furnishings offer ready-made styling moments throughout the home—just add talent and camera.

Lighting has been carefully considered, with a mix of lamps and dimmable ceiling lights throughout to support full control during your production. Whether you’re shooting a fashion campaign, lifestyle content, or elevated product scenes, the warm timber tones and natural light give every frame richness and softness.

Outside, the property offers two distinct zones: a large, manicured front lawn and a rear garden that opens onto coastal bushland views, ideal for natural, unstyled content or seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. An outdoor shower, fireplace, and air-conditioning round out the shoot-day essentials, and Wi-Fi ensures full connectivity for live review or uploads.

Dune Beach House is ready for small-to-medium productions and welcomes up to six guests onsite. With its thoughtful design, premium furnishings, and rich visual detail, this Rye-based home offers a timeless yet modern canvas for storytelling that feels grounded, elevated, and unmistakably Australian.
