Overview

An exclusive designer trophy sanctuary with direct access to the harbour

'Waterfall House' is one of the region's most rarefied expressions of elegance, sophistication and liveability in a harbour front setting that is without parallel. The house represents an extraordinary collaboration of architect led re-mastering by Ian Sercombe, Sally Rhys-Jones interior design, and Formed Gardens sculpted landscaping. Adjoining the harbourfront reserve where a cascading waterfall spills into a sandy beach, the tri level residence has a series of sun-drenched Northerly decks with sparkling views over the bay to North Harbour.
