The heart of the home is the Chef’s Gallery. Vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light highlight the sculptural, full-length porcelain island. This is where culinary stories unfold. You can prepare a feast with top-tier Miele appliances, brew espresso, or showcase the finest local produce.

For the ultimate indulgence, engage a private chef to create gourmet masterpieces while you savor a glass of South Australia’s finest and panoramic coastal views from your private balcony.

The Horizon Suite
