Two sisters have created a whimsical beach #cottage on the rugged south Australian coast in #MarionBay. The #beach is a two-minute walk through wattle and saltbush shrub, where their children clamber over sand dunes and search for shells.â â "It always feels like coming home," says Sarah. "We're so happy to arrive and there's a big exhale and a sense of relief."â â Click the link in our bio to see more of the home and find out how you can book it for your next #holiday.
Dreaming of a white #Christmas? Too bad we live in Australia, where snow in December is as rare as a leftover piece of pudding!

"Living in the country puts us in touch much more with the bigger issues," says Patsy Peacock, who along with partner Michael Lynch, calls this cottage in the Southern Highlands home. The pair undertook a home #renovation to create better #entertaining and conversation spaces. â â Since making a #treechange, the pair have immersed themselves in the local creative community. âThe area is full of interesting people, and we enjoy that.ââ â Step inside their home, which blends #Hamptonsstyle with tribal elements, by clicking the link in bio.â â #diningroom #homedecor #lighting

Welcome to a sixth generation family #farmhouse #cottage in Nowhere Creek, VIC. Jack and Kirby Kaye had been dating for about two weeks when Jack said, âI need you to come home and see the farm and if you canât live there then thereâs no relationship.â â â Luckily when Kirby finally saw the farm, she fell in love. âIt was beautiful straight away,â she says. â â Today, Jack and Kirby call the farm home and have undertaken a slow and steady #renovation of their historic cottage. Here, in the #entrancehallway, the original #floorboards have been retained. Tour the home by clicking the link in our bio. â â Photography: @markroperphotographyâ Styling: @hannah.bradyâ â â

Each distinctive wall-hanging can feature up to six kilograms of fringing alone! â â Before pursuing a career in the arts, she was a high school #teacher. âI'd given so much to enable everyone else to shine, but what did I really want to do? I made a promise to myself to see where I could take this," she says.â â Head to the link in bio to read her inspiring story and see more of her #bohostyle creations. â â Photography: @markroperphotography

The claw-foot bath next to an open fireplace at @thefarmerscottage is the height of luxury. But just a few years ago, this cottage had almost completely succumbed to the forces of nature. Current owner Abby McKibben says when she first inspected the place, âGrass was growing up through the floorboards and there were four possums living in the roof.â While anyone else might be tempted to let nature take its course, Abby and her husband Josh were taken by the views and, of course, that convict-built brick fireplace in the bathroom. See what the cottage looks like today by clicking the link in bio. â â #bathroom #bathroomdesign â #interiordesign #renovation #cottagelifeâ â Words: @becwhishâ Photography: @marniehawson
