After a rough start to 2020, many areas of the NSW South Coast are ready to welcome visitors back to their beautiful beaches.

And, what better way to support fire-affected regions than to spend a weekend in a chic new stay, while visiting local business to bring back that all-important tourist support?

The South Coast’s newest luxury holiday home, Mandala Beach House is an idyllic place to start. Gather up to 12 friends or family members, take a cooler to fill with delicious local provisions from nearby stores, and the rest is all about relaxation.

Just 2.5 hours away from Sydney, in the coastal village of Callala Bay on the northern shores of Jervis Bay, sits a newly opened luxury beach house that’s perfect for group getaways. Better yet, foodie friends, a fully equipped kitchen and large living and dining areas makes this retreat a suitable fit for gourmands who love to entertain.

Six large bedrooms, ensuites, a games room, a deep-set bathtub with views over the bay, a breezy balcony, envy-inducing alfresco dining space with a barbecue, and a saltwater pool will all make it difficult to return home.

Interior stylist Jessi Eve has dressed the space with timber, neutral tones, and raw texture. “Influenced by natural elements, I pulled together a palette of sandy neutrals and grey stone tones paired with soft sky pastels and ocean blues. Textures and materials were connected to nature through natural cotton, linen, rattan, and timber,” she said.

 Active visitors can partake in a spot of swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing and stand-up paddle-boarding, while foodies can pick up ocean-fresh seafood and produce from nearby cafes and restaurants in the region. And, the art galleries, bars and boutique stores of Huskisson are a short 30-minute drive away.
