Good design.
Wild water.
No rush.
Set above a sheltered crescent of sand, Dunwick pairs honest materials with the changing colours of the coast. Every room looks toward water, sky or the marram-covered headland.
Wake to breakfast from nearby farms and boats, borrow a board, follow the cliff path, then return for a long soak and supper from the day’s catch.
