I really must stop daydreaming about sea side escapes. I really should get off Contemporary Hotel‘s website. I really should get back to reality. I really should just book a few days somewhere. Might stop the daydreams if they actually came true. Might just have to go here. Rockridge. I have coveted this Palm Beach, Sydney home for years.

For those of you who loved yesterday’s dark kitchen here is another by Patricia Stewart Designs. Contemporary and sleek but sitting happily with an electic family/dining area.

Do you like your beachside bungalow to have a casual sophistication about it? Contemporary and stylish with an easy going elegance yet nothing too precious that it’s impossible to relax? Of course you’ll want a killer view and it wouldn’t hurt if your getaway wasn’t so far away at all from the hustle and the happenings of Sydney. Welcome to Elysium at Whale Beach, part of the luxury holiday accommodation available through Contemporary Hotels.

Kitchen by Patricia Stewart Design. Elegant, timeless.
