Set to holiday mode in this ultimate entertainer’s retreat
Step inside this flawless holiday house guaranteed to win over family and friends
2 min
For sun seekers in search of the ideal holiday home, there’s always compromises to be made. The location might not be perfect, the house may be in need of work or it could be just too far from the closest capital city to make regular use viable.
Not with this elevated beachfront property on the NSW Central Coast.
The two-storey residence at 46 Kalakau Avenue, Forresters Beach is the kind of place guaranteed to make its owners popular among family and friends. With five bedrooms (and a possible sixth) as well as multiple living areas across two floors and two spacious, well-appointed kitchens to service each level, this is a house built for entertaining.
The floorplan has been carefully crafted for easy cross ventilation and natural light to capture the best of its beachside position with the addition of ducted aircon and a built-in fireplace to ensure the house is comfortable all year round.
Close attention has been paid to circulation between spaces while also providing opportunities for separation – a key advantage when guests come to stay. The predominantly white interior scheme is a perfect match for the seaside locale, offering the perfect ‘canvas’ for putting your own design stamp.
But while the accommodation is generous, it’s the location that really hits the mark with uninterrupted, never-to-be-built-out views of pristine Forresters Beach to enjoy from the spacious entertaining area on the ground floor and the balconies above.
The property has direct access through reserves to the beach via a set of stairs, the definition of luxury in a modern world. On those days when you’d prefer to stay at home, a private pool and spa is the perfect respite.
For Sydneysiders, it’s less than 90 minutes from the CBD, making weekend getaways an easy option. With a three-car garage on site, there’s room for everyone.
Address: 46 Kalakau Avenue, Forresters Beach

Mirvac has topped out Trielle at Melbourne’s Yarra’s Edge, with more than 70 per cent of the riverfront development sold and approximately 80 per cent of purchasers intending to make their apartment a home.
The figures, released on September 22, point to an owner-occupier audience for one of the precinct’s final residential towers. Mirvac began developing Yarra’s Edge in 2003, and its latest addition occupies one of the remaining absolute riverfront sites.
Mirvac CEO of Development Stuart Penklis said existing residents were among those moving up within the neighbourhood.
“Many purchasers already have a connection to Yarra’s Edge,” Mr Penklis said, describing buyers whose changing needs were encouraging an upgrade within the precinct.
“As one of the final residential towers within Yarra’s Edge, Trielle represents the culmination of more than two decades of creating one of Melbourne’s most established and sought-after waterfront communities,” Penklis said.
“Positioned on the Collins Street axis with absolute river frontage, Trielle offers residents a rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views across the Yarra River, Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, while remaining seamlessly connected to the CBD. With Trielle now more than 70 per cent sold, we’re continuing to see strong demand from buyers seeking quality homes in established locations.”
The developer also flagged a penthouse and sub-penthouse collection with larger layouts, premium finishes and broad outlooks. The planned wellness centrepiece, The Oasis, encompasses a 900-square-metre elevated urban rainforest.
Mirvac General Manager Residential Development Victoria Elysa Anderson said Trielle had resonated strongly with buyers seeking a rare lifestyle offering in Melbourne.
“Opportunities to secure a new luxury residence on a riverfront site of this calibre are incredibly rare, particularly within a community like Yarra’s Edge,” Anderson said.
“What makes Trielle unique is the combination of exceptional views, world-class residential facilities and the lifestyle that already exists around it. Residents are buying into a mature waterfront community with parks, promenades, dining, wellness and strong community connections already in place.”
The 45-level tower brings a substantial new presence to that waterfront. Its residential offering spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with Signature, Prestige and Sub-Penthouse collections accommodating different household sizes. The north-facing position connects the apartments visually to the river and city beyond.
Seven storeys above the promenade, the planned Oasis combines planting and a running stream with a Scandinavian-inspired wellness club developed with spa specialist Naomi Gregory. Facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, hot magnesium pool, sauna, hydrotherapy, a gym, yoga and Pilates room, and treatment spaces.
The amenity extends beyond exercise. Residents will have access to The Biblioteca library and workspaces, ground-floor work pods, and The Salone piano lounge. A private Chef’s Table dining room offers a setting for larger gatherings, while a cinema, games room and sports lounge broaden the entertaining options. Concierge services and a dog-wash area support everyday routines.
Trielle comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Reflecting strong demand from owner occupiers, approximately 80 per cent of purchasers to date intend to live in their homes, highlighting the project’s appeal to those seeking a long-term waterfront lifestyle.
Mirvac has recently delivered The Albertine, a premium apartment development on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, and is nearing completion of Prince & Parade in Brunswick, further strengthening its portfolio of thoughtfully designed apartment communities in some of Melbourne’s most sought-after urban locations.
