Five creatively inspired holiday homes for your Margaret River Region Open Studios escape

Every September, the Margaret River Region becomes one giant gallery.

More than 150 artists throw open the doors to their studios and art spaces, inviting visitors behind the scenes to experience the stories, techniques and landscapes that shape their work.

Margaret River Region Open Studios (MRROS) is an event best enjoyed over several days. One where scenic drives replace the quickest route, conversations with artists are unhurried, and each discovery leads naturally to the next.

As proud Presentation Partner of MRROS, Private Properties believes the creative experience doesn’t end when you leave a studio. It continues in the places you stay – in the architecture that surrounds you, the craftsmanship beneath your fingertips, and the thoughtful details that make a house feel truly memorable.

Whether you’re planning a long weekend or a week spent following studio trails across the region, these five homes offer inspiring places to return to at the end of each day.

Salty Kiss

Modern, light-filled and unapologetically coastal, Salty Kiss puts its spectacular setting front and centre. In the master bedroom, floor-to-ceiling windows frame nature’s own artwork: an ever-changing canvas of blue ocean, open sky and rugged coastline. A fitting place to find inspiration between studio visits.

Salisterra

Salisterra blurs the line between indoors and out. Every room has been designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape, with natural materials, expansive windows and beautifully restrained interiors allowing the environment to become the hero. It’s the kind of home that encourages you to pause, notice the changing light, and appreciate thoughtful design from every angle.

Ocean Grove

At Ocean Grove, creativity comes from its connection to place. Light-filled interiors, calming textures and uninterrupted bush and ocean outlooks create an atmosphere that’s effortlessly restorative. After days spent exploring studio trails, it’s the perfect setting to unwind, reflect and absorb everything you’ve discovered.

The Oystercatcher

Warm, welcoming and full of beautifully considered details, The Oystercatcher proves that creativity is all around. Carefully curated furnishings, natural textures and relaxed coastal styling combine to create a home that’s every bit as inspiring as the galleries and studios waiting beyond its front door.

Woody Nook

Tucked behind mature trees and just a short stroll from Dunsborough’s town centre, Woody Nook features floor-to-ceiling glass, a central courtyard filled with native plants, timber-lined exteriors and beautifully crafted natural materials celebrate the Australian landscape in subtle, thoughtful ways. It’s the kind of home that encourages you to notice the details – just like an artist would an artwork.
