Pretty Beach House is one of Australia’s most exclusive luxury lodges situated 90 minutes drive north of Sydney on the glorious NSW Bouddi Peninsula. The lodge is set high on the escarpment above Pretty Beach and gently nestled into the Bouddi National Park.

Stay with us in your own luxurious pavilion surrounded by the beauty of mother nature. With world-class facilities, Pretty Beach House is the epitome of laidback Australian luxury.

The main house is a collection of premium facilities including an open plan kitchen, spectacular dining room, magnificent sandstone open fireplace, guest lounge/library, open bar, wine cellar, private day spa, outdoor infinity pool and poolside pizza oven for casual al-fresco dining.

The magnificent dining room incorporates authentic earthy interiors and unique bespoke soft furnishings, including handmade Busatti linen inspired by the colours and textures of the surrounding landscape and hand-engraved signature cutlery. The mud-brick walls, sandstone floors and large open fireplace connect the building to the earth and make you feel safe and warm like in a warm cocoon.

The property is surrounded by bush and water, from quintessential golden beaches to private, pristine bays.

Rooms

Pretty Beach House offers tailored exclusive-use options for intimate groups of 8. At our world-class lodge, even a small corporate event feels like a prized incentive thanks to the highly personalised service, the gastronomy experience, the luxurious bespoke interiors, the deep connection to the earth and the mesmerising natural surrounds of mother nature.

The property is one of the most private and luxurious properties available for exclusive-use book outs. Up to 8 guests (4 couples) may be indulged by our exceptional staff as they are wined and dined in the dining room, or guided on a hike as they head out for an indigenous cultural tour.

Dining

Simplicity, elegance, service and superb food is evident in every aspect of the culinary delights of Pretty Beach House.

The Main house is designed for relaxation and conviviality where all the senses and sensibilities are inspired from the iconic Australian artworks to the elegant table settings and stunning views. Guests are invited to help themselves from the fully stocked bar and relax before dinner while taking in the stunning coastal views.

HEAD CHEF / DEAN JONES / Dean gained Michelin experience at London’s River Café, and he injects the same pride and passion he believes that gave River Cafe its unique popularity – the pride in every ingredient and the passion to cook it with the same sense of brio and devotion the Italians display. “Passion and commitment took River Cafe to great heights, and I know it can be done here.”

Guests may choose to dine in the spectacular dining room, alfresco by the pool or maybe even on our boat.

An extensive range of premium wines; beers and spirits are on offer. Each beverage hand-picked by the house Sommelier to complement the daily menus. For those looking further afield, the Pretty Beach House wine cellar curated by proprietor Brian Barry is stocked with incredible rare old and new world wines.
