Moso House Featured in Good Weekend's 15 New and Reimagined NSW Getaways

Carla

Some places ask you to do more. Moso House asks you to do less.



This weekend, Moso House was named among Good Weekend's 15 new and reimagined NSW getaways in The Sydney Morning Herald. The feature gathers properties that offer a change of place, pace and perspective, and we're quietly thrilled to sit among them.

We built Moso House as a place to exhale. Seeing it recognised for exactly that feels like the best kind of affirmation.


In the pages of Good Weekend


The feature, published 7 November 2026, rounds up 52 Weekends Away  for anyone craving a rapid refresh. Moso House is listed as one of the 15 in NSW.  Sheridan Rhodes shares her review and take on Moso, Pearl Beach and more.


On top of the stunning decor, Sauna and Ice Plunge, heated pool and proximity to the beach as well as  EV charging and being  pet-friendly, these details  make the escape effortless for Sydney guests and their dogs.


Sheridan also captured the outdoor living at Moso: the white rendered lounge beside the fire pit, the pebble path and the glass-fenced pool framed by banana palms and bird of paradise. It's the corner of the garden where most guests end up at golden hour.

A house built for slowing down


Moso House is a four-bedroom retreat for up to 10 guests, designed around rest rather than routine.


  • Heated pool for long, unhurried swims in any season
  • Infrared sauna and cold plunge for a simple hot-cold ritual at home
  • Fire pit garden wrapped in lush tropical planting, made for evenings outdoors
  • Indoor fireplace for cooler nights in
  • Chef's kitchen for long lunches, or private catering if you'd rather not lift a finger
  • EV charger and a pet-friendly welcome, so the whole household can come


Every space leans into warm, natural textures: timber, linen, stone and green. It's a house that feels like the garden it sits in.


Pearl Beach, 90 minutes from Sydney


Good Weekend described Pearl Beach as "the Palm Beach of the Central Coast", and we couldn't agree more. It's a quiet village of bush, sand and lagoon, about 90 minutes' drive north of Sydney.


There are no high-rises and no rush. Days here drift between a morning swim at the beach, a walk through Brisbane Water National Park and a slow dinner back at the house.


Your weekend starts here


If the feature has you dreaming of a reset, the best rates are always found when you book direct.
