Every now and then we'll feature a holiday house - usually in Australia but we could end up anywhere. So pore over our pictures and relish the thought that you could have a sleepover there too.
Our first house makes us yearn for a long, lazy, beachy break. Put your feet up and enjoy this very special coastal retreat...

Designer Jo Larratt designed this house with a few key principles in mind: light, vistas, breezeways and natural materials. Two pavillions ensure a harmonious holiday as separate areas allow "the quiet/reflective to coexist with the energy of socialising."

Food. Wine. Friends. Scrabble anyone? This robust table from Sounds Like Home hosts late night banter and fun. http://www.soundslikehome.com.au/

Jo found this Danish trumpet light at one of our favourite Sydney shops Vampt Vintage Design. For lots of other mid-century gems see www.vamptvintagedesign.com/
We love the serene beauty of 'Bronte Bathers' by Kate Dorrough (not always easy to pull off beachy art in a beach house - nice work Jo)

'Sun Window' by Byron Bay artist John Cottrell is so right in a house filled with shifting light and warm sun. Jo dedicated many hours to sourcing all the furniture here from ebay. See John's vibrant pieces at www.visualartist.info/johncottrell

Three separate decks serve different purposes. The "arrival" deck is for unpacking and post-beach rinses, another is for lolling about with the weekend papers and one is for alfresco dining. Take your pick - bliss!

Remember the delight you had as a kid when you got to your holiday spot (even caravans were fun)?

| Empty windswept beaches perfect for finding sandy treasures... |

| Aaah thanks so much Jo. Please can we come back.... If you fancy a break from the real word (but not from great style) this house at Cunjurong Point on the NSW South Coast is available for holiday bookings. Go to www.manyanaaccom.com.au/accommodation/1116 |
