Belvedere

Tucked into one of Clarence Street’s loveliest corners, and just a dawdle from the soft sands of Convent Beach and Pippi Beach, this ground-floor hideaway offers a quietly elegant take on coastal living. One of only two apartments in the building, it feels wonderfully private – a place where you can exhale the moment you arrive.

Step inside to cool, calm interiors where comfort has been considered at every turn. Three generous bedrooms – each with their own TV and a whisper of air-conditioned ease – make unhurried mornings almost inevitable. Cooks will gravitate to the superbly equipped gourmet kitchen, all gleaming appliances and thoughtful touches, while the open-plan living space drifts easily from daytime loafing to slow, companionable evenings. High-quality audio only adds to the sense that this is a home designed for lingering.

Slide open the doors to discover the apartment’s loveliest surprise: a beautifully tended private courtyard, fragrant with coastal breezes and perfectly sheltered for long coffees, lazy lunches, or a glass of something cold at dusk. From here, glimpse the glittering ocean across Ager Park, a tantalising hint of Pippi Beach just a short wander away.
