Blackbird at Arlo`s—Tradition trifft Designer-Charme

Behind its striking c1890s stone façade, Blackbird blends rich character with refined, contemporary design. Beyond the private garden path and keyless entry lies a modern interior, thoughtfully restored with deep respect for its heritage. The original bones exude warmth, now paired with high-end finishes and curated furnishings that bring the home confidently into the 21st century.

The living area is designed for comfort and connection, featuring a deep five-seater sofa, coffee table, curated reads, and a TV all set beneath high ceilings and softened by natural light. Reverse-cycle air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.

In the kitchen, clean lines and warm timber tones frame a suite of high-end appliances, including a ceramic cooktop, oven, fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and Nespresso machine. A high-top dining table provides a spot for casual meals, with further seating available in the courtyard. Outdoors, a pergola-covered dining area shaded by century-old vines seats eight and includes a full-sized BBQ—ideal for laid-back entertaining and extended stays.

The two main bedrooms feature queen beds, built-in storage, and a calm, layered aesthetic. The third bedroom is tailored for flexibility, with a custom bunk, pull-out trundle, and a double sofa bed — perfect for kids or extra guests. The bathroom features an open shower, double vanity, under-sink storage and continuous hot water, along with locally made, organic body and hair care. Hidden laundry facilities with a washer, iron and board are neatly integrated for longer stays. There is a clothesline outside.

Off-street parking adds extra convenience for beach days and city outings.
