currarong icon brought back to life

Tucked away in beautiful Currarong (just 2.5hrs from Sydney), The Butterfly House is more than accommodation, it’s a story you’ll step into. This architectural icon, lovingly restored from eccentric local legend Alf Ellis’s upside-down creation, offers the perfect canvas for reconnection. Whether you’re coming with your group of 8 or ready to meet new people, this unique space brings everyone together.

Gather around our communal table for home-cooked meals prepared fresh in our kitchen, crafted especially to your group’s tastes and needs. Your days unfold naturally: do as little or as much as you like. Choose your own adventure: surf lessons with Currarong Surf School, snorkelling, trail walks and bike rides on the sand, kayak tours, yoga and meditation, energising and/or recovery sessions in our very own back garden studio with Lisa Brown. Or simply sink into the rhythm of real relaxation – books, conversations, the simple pleasure of time unhurried.

As day softens into evening, find yourself drawn to the upstairs balcony for year-round sunset ocean views. If you are staying with us in the cooler months, the evening coastal air turns crisp and the warmth of our fire draws everyone close for stories, laughter, and the kind of conversations that only happen when phones are forgotten.
