For homeowners who love hosting, having the space, options, and flexibility is a joy. From barbecues built into stylish outdoor entertainment areas to fully self-contained two-bedroom units in the backyard, these luxury homes make it easy for residents to fit in.
We would love to have a meeting with a view of these gardens, the vines of the vines or the neighboring rivers. Bonus points if guests have a place to stay.
24 Mayfield Street, Abbotsford VIC
With lush bush views from the living areas and bedrooms, you’d never know this charming riverside retreat is so close to the city. Surrounded by vines, trees and a flower garden, the outdoor dining area resembles a clearing in the enchanted forest from a storybook. There is a main house and two detached residences that offer plenty of space for the house’s guests.
65 Manning Road, Double Bay NSW
The interior of this newly built Double Bay home is as bright and spacious as it looks from the front. The sunny courtyard is covered in greenery and has a barbecue ideal for hosting. The living area has a smart round skylight, a kitchen in Calacatta Borghini marble, and parking for three cars and an EV charger.
26 Torrington Road, Maroubra NSW
This three-story waterfront home offers a dreamy rooftop entertainment area with built-in banquette seating, barbecue, spa, sauna, and ocean views. Inside, glossy black countertops and bar stools offer a place to gather. There are pops of color sprinkled throughout the interiors.
79 Alfred Crescent, Fitzroy North VIC
This elegant Victorian house dates from around 1890 and overlooks Edinburgh Gardens; but there is also a grassy backyard lined with tall trees. The grand façade and original fireplaces are complemented by stylish, modern bathrooms and a spacious kitchen. A two-bedroom self-contained studio is available for family or visitors, or to create an ideal work-from-home space.
305 Monaco Street, Broadbeach Waters QLD
Imagine living right by the river; When you wake up, share your meal, or go for a swim in the infinity pool, the calm river is in the background. There is a pontoon and pier for boat owners who want to sail. On land, there is an ice bath and sauna for wellness enthusiasts.
