Karinya - spectacularly transformed fisherman's cottage
An original 1920s fisherman's cottage had the pick of the finest waterfront sites on Horsfield Bay; 100 years on, 'Karinya' has undergone a spectacular transformation, embodying the timeless character of the cottage and combining it with a beautifully modern aesthetic. The current owners turned their focus to creating a retreat with a strong visual connection to the phenomenal views, yet with minimal impact to the ancient landscape of the Darkinjung people. Its beauty is derived from the simplicity of the striking forms; the organic materials and textural elements throughout the home create an exquisite sense of harmony and flow between indoors and out.Not to be missed are the beautiful gardens designed with advice from Michael Cooke, surrounding the heated pool and cabana – it's an extraordinary spot to let the cares of the week drift away; the waterfront setting also includes a shared jetty. Soaking up a brilliant north aspect and astonishing views, the home is well-protected from southerlies, as the original owner must have sussed out while surveying the splendid, 728 square meter parcel.
