Picture this: sundrenched walls, lush palms, and tropical flowers. A magnificent building with soaring arches and lancet windows that frame a dramatic entrance. Welcome to our paradise, a three-storey castle nestled on the Sunshine Coast. We are thrilled to share that our home, a Mediterranean-inspired retreat, has been awarded the prestigious title of Australia's Best Holiday House!

Imagine the magic of turrets, adding a touch of enchantment and romance. Our castle, swan-white against the sapphire sky, channels the beauty of the Greek Isles on a grand scale. It's as if a modern-day fairy godmother waved her wand and brought a European summer palace to life right here in Australia.

Stayz, the leading platform for unique accommodations in Australia, annually hosts the highly anticipated Australian Holiday Home of the Year awards. These prestigious accolades recognise properties that surpass expectations and offer guests an extraordinary vacation experience.

In 2023, our Mediterranean-inspired retreat proudly claimed the title of Australia's Best Holiday House, a testament to our unwavering dedication to crafting a truly magical and unforgettable escape for every guest who enters our doors.

Praising Mykonos' unparalleled charm and captivating allure, David Finch, a travel expert at Stayz, described the experience as stepping into a world of Mediterranean elegance and relaxation. “With its grand turret room, sun-soaked walls, and breathtaking ocean views, our retreat truly embodies the essence of a dream holiday.”

What sets us apart and clinched us the top gong is our unique ‘Mediterranean castle aura.’ We offer a glimpse of a Euro summer without the added expense or long flight. The moment you step inside, you'll feel the spell we cast, transporting you to a realm of barefoot luxury and relaxation.

Our home boasts four breathtaking bedrooms, each with its own spacious ensuite. The beds are adorned with butter-soft linens in soothing hues, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. Deep rugs and billowy curtains create a serene atmosphere, while a palette of earth and ocean tones warms the white backdrop. It's a gentle exhale, a sanctuary for the soul.

As you wander through our airy spaces, you'll discover delightful vignettes of artfully arranged objects. Vases, dishes, ornaments, and paintings create a feast for the eyes. Take photos, soak up the inspiration, and learn how to expertly arrange beautiful things. Our kitchen is a triumph of form and function, where even the humblest implements seem gallery-worthy.

But the true gem of our retreat awaits you on the top floor—the splendid turret. Step inside, and you'll find a cozy circular hideaway lined with daybeds, cushions, and books. The sunset pours through small windows, and two portholes give the sense of being in a lighthouse. Venture onto the rooftop, and you'll be greeted by breathtaking ocean vistas framed by swaying palms. Relax on a comfy couch as the Coral Sea and sky transform from rose to dusk, with twinkling stars overhead.

Our home is perfect for families and friends, accommodating up to eight guests. With its multiple levels and spaces, it allows for both privacy and shared experiences. Gather on the rooftop for a deluxe open-air barbecue, sip aperitifs around the outdoor fireplace, and celebrate under the stars.

While our castle offers an idyllic retreat, the splendid kingdom of Noosa beckons just beyond our doors. Take a stroll to Sunshine Beach, where white sand and great breaks await. Explore the nearby boutiques and cafes, or venture a bit further to Noosa's famous Hastings Street, where luxe boutiques, handcrafted treasures, art, and fashion abound.

We invite you to experience the magic of our Mediterranean-inspired retreat, where the beauty of the Sunshine Coast and the charm of a fairytale come together in perfect harmony. Book your stay with us and discover why we were crowned the Best Holiday House in Australia for 2023!
