“A gorgeous 1970s-inspired adults-only boutique bolthole close to town & Main Beach. The rooms & two-bedroom suite are decorated in earthy terracotta, dusky pink and moss-green tones. Think big curved headboards, gauzy curtains shielding views of the magnesium pool & two stylish bars. Oozing cool.”
