Caves Beach Hotel Resort - Becoming a Reality

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Little by little, day by day, a dream is becoming a reality on the picturesque stretch of beach known fondly as Caves! Situated at caves Beach, an hour north of Sydney.

The hive of activity of skilled trades is now giving ‘life’ to some of the best elements in architecture and design that have been long dreamt and talked about.

It has been my honour to flesh out those concepts, and with such a gorgeous location as Caves Beach, you can’t fail to recognise the opportunity to embrace the natural feel and vibe that life by the seaside creates.

We have been able to achieve what I believe will be a beautiful environment, to entertain, to relax and celebrate special times with family and friends. From a quite drink with the mates, to a wedding day gathering with all the family, we have made the interior experience a delight to the senses

So much of the interior design for this project has been taken from the elements found at Caves itself. The colour, texture, light & shadow all have been worked to achieve a pallet that encompasses the sea and the life of the coast in a way that is unique and embracive of the local community.

We wanted so much, to reflect the life of the beach back through the design and we have been able to do this with some master craftsmen that have designed many ‘one off’ pieces just for us. It has been both exciting and rewarding designing them and waiting for the day of their arrival.

The Hotel will feature some of the finest of resources available, beautiful Marble and Shell Stone, Fused & Slumped Glass, Stainless Steel & Wood all working together to give those natural elements a voice. We have amazing panels of back-lit Resin and Agate Stone Slivers that will reflect the intricate details captured in and around the rocks and much loved cave areas.

There will definitely be lots of beautiful things to see at Caves Beachside, and the most ‘amazing thing’ is that beautiful beach looks different everyday…I guess that is why we are inviting you to… discover the magic…. See you at Caves

Caves Beachside Resort - Caves Beach - New South Wales

Friday, November 14th, 2008
Caves Beachside Resort has slowly evolved through a planning process of six years and has seen extensive community consultation along with Local and State Government   approval.The unique coastal location of the Caves Beachside Resort will provide a special experience to all owners, investors and visitors. Caves Beachside will have various accommodation modules, ranging from single level Beach Suite’s flowing through to two level Beach House’s.  Additionally, there will be Village Houses to Apartment Buildings, with the majority of properties offering magnificent water views. 

The forms of the buildings approved for Caves Beachside reflect the traditional architecture of the coast. Re-establishing the dune system including the wetlands is now under construction with a natural landscape succession designed that will encourage the native birds and other wildlife. Planned are dune grasses and Banksia Forest, along with wetland reeds and tea trees increasing in density as you move from the ocean. This will create pockets of dense natural landscaping (through out the Beach Houses) creating their own micro climates. The landscaping will be native, low maintenance and drought resistant to ensure minimal water usage and this contributes to maintaining a healthy natural environment. 

The wetlands is another key feature of the Caves Beachside Resort Hotel and will be approx 4500 cubic m in size and will be fed from the overflow of the 100,000 lit rainwater tank located under the board walk.

The Beach Houses themselves, will feature solar hot water, grey water recycling to toilets and an individual rainwater tank of 2000 lit complete with external shower. Insulation along with natural ventilation will ensure optimum comfort without the over use of artificial heating or cooling. This in itself contributes to the entire eco friendly nature of the Caves Beachside Resort Project.

The Bistro and main bar of the new Caves Beachside Hotel will have no air conditioning units installed due to the modern architecture components incorporating optimum design by allowing natural breeze and air flow. The outstanding ocean views compliment the outlook and overall design of the Caves Beachside Hotel.

The Caves Beachside Resort Hotel is a venue to challenge, in it’s own right, the already established 5 Star Resorts up and down the east coast of Australia and being ideally located only 1 hour north of Sydney on the Pacific Highway, will ensure that the Caves Beachside Resort Hotel will be the place to come, relax and enjoy.
