A refined coastal sanctuary five minutes’ stroll from Forresters Beach, this airy, light-filled lodge sleeps 12 across five bedrooms — including a private studio suite with its own kitchenette and ensuite. Soak in the heated spa year-round, fire up the BBQ in the generous backyard, and wander down to pristine sand, rockpools and the village cafe strip. Built for big family escapes.

A huge private deck. One hundred and eighty degrees of Pacific Ocean. Metres from the sand. Welcome to Sandcastle Studio. Sandcastle Studio is the intimate companion to the award-winning Sandcastle home — a recently renovated couples retreat perched above Forresters Beach, with a massive private deck, sweeping ocean views, and the golden sands literally at the bottom of the stairs. For two people who want the ocean as their backdrop for every moment of the day, this is exactly that.

Glass walls. One hundred and eighty degrees of Pacific Ocean. Whales from the deck. Welcome to Sandcastle. Sandcastle is an award-winning architectural home designed by Jon King — perched high on the sun-bleached dunes of Forresters Beach, glass-wrapped, and feeling genuinely suspended above the sea. For guests who want more than a beautiful view — who want to live inside one — there is nowhere else on the Central Coast like this.
