When the owner got the opportunity to purchase the property next door in the early part of 2019, he um’ed and ah’ed about how to utilise the space. A far cry from what you see today, the house had been unaltered since it was built in 1973. The options were to give her a little fixer upper for a standard rental, or go all out and transform her to her fullest potential. The final decision to embark on the latter came whilst he sat around a crackling fire, under the open sky, enjoying a glass of vino and admiring the sights and sounds as the full moon light danced on the shimmering ocean.
He already knew what he had was special, but it was at that moment he knew he had to share this piece of magic with the world. After months of blood, sweat and tears the SMC team is now proud to offer a place for visiting guests to share in the magic. Our wish for you during your stay is that you get to experience that special feeling we know so well. We want you to leave feeling refreshed with a full and happy heart, and to share your magic with the world until we see you again.
