Editor's Note

A converted surf motel on the dunes at Cabarita (formerly The Hideaway), bought in 2011 by Brisbane sisters Siobhan and Elisha Bickle with their husbands Adam Flaskas and Dave Wadley, restored over four years and reopened May 2015 with twenty-two individually styled rooms. Architecture by Virginia Kerridge, interiors by Anna Spiro. Paper Daisy is the in-house dining room, two hats under Executive Chef Baxter Newstead (Noma Australia, Vue de Monde, Ekstedt in Stockholm). Two hours south of Brisbane, ten from Sydney. Ocean-front rooms hold the weight; the inland rooms are a holiday, not a stay.— Yarranabbe Editorial
