Owned by surfing great Taj Burrow and wife Rebecca, The Nautilus is the kind of place that makes you want to kick off your shoes and stay for a while. Set high above one of Australia’s most legendary surf breaks, this uber cool beach pad pairs clean lines with laid back luxury. It’s private, it’s effortless, and it puts you right in the heart of WA’s Margaret River wine region.
Built by renowned luxury home builders Adrian Zorzi, ‘Nautilus; is a spectacular oceanfront retreat that has been designed to maximise the spectacular views, with a modern, laid-back sense of luxury that perfectly captures the coastal ‘surfy’ lifestyle.
As soon as you arrive, you’re greeted by uninterrupted, panoramic views of the ocean that stretch out to the horizon. This prime beachfront position makes The Nautilus one of Yallingup’s most desirable addresses, where the lull of the ocean and the scent of salt in the air form the perfect backdrop for a luxury getaway.
The name “Nautilus” reflects the home’s organic, shell-like design. Curved forms and clean modern lines come together in a home that is as sculptural as it is functional. Inside, generous living spaces are spread across three levels, with each floor offering private retreats, unbelievable and thoughtful amenities.
At the top level, the open plan living area is an entertainer’s dream. A fully equipped kitchen flows out to a sun drenched terrace with a breakfast bar overlooking the entire sweep of Yallingup Beach. There’s also a rooftop viewing deck accessed via an outdoor spiral staircase offering the ultimate sunset spot.
The master suite on this level is a sanctuary within a sanctuary, complete with walk-in robe, private patio and indulgent ensuite. A study area makes working remotely (if you must but you probably won’t!) more bearable, thanks to views that stretch out over the ocean.
The mid level brings the fun, featuring a children’s bedroom, luxe lounge with tv above the fireplace if you want to check out for a streaming session for a while with your favourite show, kitchenette and bar for making cocktails, vintage arcade game, and a large alfresco deck with BBQ and plunge pool. Downstairs, you’ll find a quiet retreat with a second lounge, additional bedrooms, and a beautiful bathroom with beautiful natural bathroom products. This level is great for relaxing with a book or a little nap after the beach.
Step outside and the beach is quite literally at your doorstep. A private gate leads directly to the path across the road to Yallingup Beach. After a morning surf or salty swim, rinse off in one of the two outdoor showers at Nautilus and settle into the relaxed rhythm of down south for the day.
Each of the five bedrooms is equipped with full wardrobes, ceiling fans and plush bedding. Families with young children are welcome, and a travel cot is available on request. While baby gates for the stairs aren’t supplied, the house is well-equipped to handle family needs without sacrificing style and adult comfort.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel welcomed by a local host ready to assist with any questions about the home or surrounding region they grew up in. A thoughtfully curated welcome book offers insider tips on exploring Yallingup and the wider Margaret River region from boutique wineries and coastal walks to hidden swimming spots and the best places for a long, lazy lunch.
As a guest, you’ll have exclusive access to the entire property and outdoor areas. While Taj and Rebecca love pets they aren’t permitted, and the fire pit is seasonal due to fire bans so you’re not remembered for burning the house down but every other detail has been carefully considered to ensure your stay is nothing short of exceptional. They even are thoughtful enough to provide beach day essentials such as an esky, towels and snorkelling gear!
Whether you’re sipping wine at sunset, watching whales from the deck, or simply enjoying the calm that only comes from being by the sea, The Nautilus Yallingup invites you to press pause on everyday life. It’s a home that speaks to those who appreciate quality, privacy and natural beauty—all just three hours south of Perth.
