The design of Dadirri Retreat was thoughtfully crafted in harmony with the surrounding topography, climatic conditions, and natural environment. Pavilion-style living zones are elegantly arranged around tranquil courtyard ponds which help frame views through to the east, and allow breezes to penetrate the building. Expansive decks blend effortlessly with the outdoors, providing versatile spaces for outdoor entertaining or peaceful reflection. From the 25-meter saltwater pool, perfect for refreshing summer stays, to the inviting sauna ideal for cooler month stays, Dadirri Retreat showcases the essence of resort-style living all year round.

Internally, the walls are wrapped in warm timber panels, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that blends beautifully with the natural bushland setting. The timber finish not only adds texture and warmth but also enhances the connection between the home and its surroundings, echoing the earthy tones of the landscape.

High ceilings amplify the sense of space and openness, while large operable glass doors and windows bring the outdoors in, flooding the interiors with natural light. These design features provide remarkable versatility, allowing the pavilion-style living spaces to adapt seamlessly to changing weather conditions. On cooler days, the spaces can be closed off to retain warmth while the double sided fireplace is on and create an intimate retreat. While on sunny days, and the pool is in good use, the doors and windows can be fully opened to welcome gentle breezes and guests can fully embrace the essence of summer holiday living.

Located at the foothills of the Blue Mountains, Dadirri Retreat serves as the perfect base for guests seeking exploration and adventure. After a day of hiking trails, discovering waterfalls, and taking in breathtaking lookouts, the retreat offers a sanctuary to return to.
