2025 Is all about Slow Stays!


Scotts Head—where country town charm meets beachside bliss. This little gem on the Mid North Coast of NSW has it all: laid-back vibes, stunning beaches, cool cafés, and nature at its finest. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Emmanuel House, a brand-new Airbnb that’s as dreamy as they come.

Perched on its own private acreage (aka no neighbors, no noise), this off-grid retreat is just three minutes from the beach but feels like a world away. Think sweeping ocean and mountain views by day, stargazing by the fire at night, and cozy storm-watching with a cuppa when the weather turns moody. Oh, and it’s all eco-friendly—so you can feel extra good about that slow stay!


Inside, it’s all about relaxation. High ceilings, stunning interiors, and those little thoughtful details that make a place feel like home. Whether you're after a quiet escape, a creative retreat, or a weekend with friends, this is the kind of spot that makes you want to never check out. Trust me!

Need photos for your own Airbnb, holiday accomodation or boutique stay? Let’s make it shine. I don’t do boring real estate shots—I add little styling touches, I set the scene, and I create images that make people feel what it’s like to stay there. Straw hats on sun loungers, linen draped effortlessly (its never effortless, 10 mins of moving a linen tea towel around to get it to look perfectly misplaced is my reality), candles lit—it’s all in the details.

Let’s tell your property’s story. Get in touch.


Cheers,

Kris
