Arthouse Bay of Fires

The East Coast


Lasso some like-minded amigos and book this architect-designed beach house, with polished floorboards, granite bench tops and a wide curvy deck backed by a phalanx of sliding doors. About 50m away is a classic larapuna/Bay of Fires scene: white sand, rocks studded with orange lichen, and gently rolling waves. Sleeps four; no kids under 12. Two-night minimum stay.
