A Sense of Floating on the Ocean Privately nestled in the 5ha estate Rocky Point, situated on the Southern Great Barrier Reef overlooking Honeymoon Bay and the surrounding Pacific Ocean, it is easy to understand why alinghi was voted one of the world’s top five beach houses in the world.
Designed by signature architect James Grose as a retreat space for contemplation, this luxury pavilion style residence has been created with minimal impact on its natural environment to give the sense of floating above the ocean. A stunning feature is the large travertine platform creating an anchor of both buildings and framed by shallow reflection pools.
The main pavilion has large living spaces opening onto semi-enclosed areas. Four large bedrooms, two with ensuites plus a separate bathroom upstairs for the other two bedrooms.
The second pavilion is a private retreat with master bedroom and ensuite and study or wellness space with striking ocean views and framed with soft native landscaped gardens.
External materials and colours were specifically chosen to disappear over time, fading to a silver grey, to blend with the landscape. Western red cedar clads the exterior of the house, selected for its hardy and low maintenance elements, to fade with exposure to the sun. Self-sufficient for water with tanks collecting abundant rainfall, whilst air conditioning is unnecessary as clever design, allowing for cross-ventilation, and the position of the house combine to allow cool ocean breezes to freely flow.
As part of Rocky Point estate, alinghi shares a private beach at Honeymoon Bay, a 30-metre saltwater pool by the ocean, entertaining cabana with barbecue facilities, tennis court and full-time caretaker on site.
Wallabies, echidnas, goannas, turtles, and migratory whales plus a diverse range of birds are plentiful.
Purposely designed, alinghi’s external lighting is all low voltage so as not to upset local wildlife, in particular nesting turtles who return to Rocky Point to breed. Agnes Water has regular flights into Bundaberg providing easy access from major cities. A 1.5-hour drive north brings you to the relaxed main village of Agnes Water with alinghi only a further 5 mins drive. Agnes Water has a selection of restaurants, cafes, grocery shops and boutique stores and the 1770 Marina from where you can explore the reef by boat or take fishing tours.
