About the host
Hosted by Sue Sweeney
Located on the coastline of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula you will find and fall in love with Cowrie Retreat. The owners have an enduring connection to the Cowrie shell, having spent many days walking nearby Shelley Beach searching for the treasured Cowries. "Cowrie" means valuable and special, apt words to describe this idyllic location.
The vital statistics are impressive. Cowrie Retreat sits in privately owned sand dunes and comfortably sleeps 8, making it prefect for groups of friends and families. The single-level building design boasts 3 king bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A separate Little Retreat with king single beds and own bathroom, looks back to the hills behind and across the middle deck out to sea. The master king bedroom with ensuite, has ocean views with total privacy. The second Super King bedroom has its own bathroom across the hall. The third, very private king bedroom has an ensuite. Both these large, comfortable bedrooms look across the inner deck into the dunes and out to sea.
All bedrooms open directly onto the dunes.
All bathrooms are supplied with Luxury Australian made Appelles products.
The main living area has a large dining table seating 8, comfortable sofas and chairs and a wood-burning fire.
The kitchen is every cook's dream, the huge kitchen bench lending itself to become the centre of culinary creativity and gatherings.
All rooms have reverse cycle heating & cooling.
There are multiple undercover outdoor areas.
The western and inner decks have large tables for dining.
The northern deck has 4 lounges looking out to sea, north along the beach and into the dunes.
There is a "Taverna" on the front dune with a table and benches - ideal for a coffee, breakfast, lunch, pre-dinner drinks or dinner. Weather permitting, it is the perfect spot to watch the sun go down and, so often, the sunset lights up the sky.
Why they chose this property
The list of features doesn't do justice to Cowrie Retreat. The luxuries abound, with everything working together to create a sense of unfused relaxation - from the sensational sea views, painted shiplap timber walls, contemporary furniture to carefully created artwork.
You will sense this as soon as you step inside. True luxury isn't showy, it feels like this.
The owners love everything about their award-winning retreat. They were intimately involved in the build and interior design work. This has resulted in an unbeatable combination of practicality and style. It is as good for a Winter getaway as a Summer holiday.
Cowrie Retreat offers a private and exclusive getaway destination only and hour and 20 minutes' drive from Adelaide.
This impressive beach above is the ultimate spot to seek seaside solitude - with panoramic ocean views (even if you are at the stove). The ideal place to escape and unwind, while still enjoying the finer things in life. You will absolutely love Cowrie Retreat and return again and again.
