Dadirri Retreat
Just 1 hour and 15 minutes from Sydney, Dadirri Retreat offers a tranquil escape where modern design meets the timeless beauty of the Australian bush. Designed by Clinton Cole of CplusC Architects, this architectural residence has earned prestigious accolades, including the Best Structural Use of Timber / House in the Bush award at the Australian Timber Design Awards. Celebrated in leading architectural and lifestyle publications, Dadirri Retreat is an architectural destination that redefines luxury and harmony.
Nestled on 5.5 acres of pristine countryside at the foothills of the Blue Mountains in the Hawkesbury Region, the retreat offers sweeping views of Sydney amidst a tranquil natural setting. Located just minutes from the boutique village of Kurrajong, Dadirri Retreat is a hidden gem perfect for those seeking a luxurious getaway.
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.
This retreat is ideal for families, groups of friends, or small gatherings seeking a private getaway. With three spacious bedrooms and bathrooms it comfortably can cater for up to six guests. Whether you're planning a relaxing family holiday, a celebratory reunion, or a peaceful retreat with close friends, the versatile layout and serenity of the natural surroundings cater to every occasion. Guests can enjoy shared architectural designed spaces for connection and conversation, as well as private corners for quiet relaxation, making Dadirri Retreat the perfect stay for all occasions.
