Playful, nostalgic and quietly refined, Summer of 81 is a home that feels both familiar and entirely unique. Drawing on iconic 20th-century design, it blends original pieces with modern comfort and thoughtful detail. Creating a setting that feels considered, yet effortlessly relaxed.
Hidden along the beachfront in peaceful Marybrook, almost perfectly positioned between Busselton and Dunsborough, the home opens directly onto the sands of Geographe Bay. Days here unfold at your own pace. Morning swims in the ocean or pool, long coffees on the deck and evenings that drift into shared meals and sunset drinks overlooking the water.
The Property
Designed for connection as much as retreat, the home centres around an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that flows onto the alfresco and lawn. Whether you’re preparing a slow brunch, gathering for dinner across one of three dining areas, or simply watching the day unfold from indoors, everything feels connected to the outdoors and the rhythm of the coast.
Accommodation is generous and thoughtfully arranged for privacy and flexibility. The upstairs master suite offers a secluded retreat, complete with its own living area, private balcony and outlook across the bay. Downstairs, a mix of queen bedrooms and a children’s bunk room makes the home ideal for families or multiple generations travelling together. With three separate living zones, quiet corners and two fireplaces for the cooler months, Summer of 81 adapts easily to the way you want to spend your time.
The Surrounds
Marybrook offers a rare sense of calm, tucked away from the busier coastal hubs, yet close enough to enjoy everything the region has to offer. Step straight onto the beach for a swim and a spot of fishing, or follow the coastal path by foot or bike, stretching between Busselton and Dunsborough.
A short drive opens up the best of the South West, from the Busselton foreshore and iconic jetty to the cafés, wineries and coastline of Dunsborough and beyond. Whether it’s a morning coffee run, a long lunch at a winery, or simply staying put by the water, the location gives you the freedom to do as much or as little as you like.
