This Spanish Mission-style boutique hotel on NSW’s South Coast has undergone a renovation while respecting its 1970s roots.
Tucked behind a turnoff from the Princes Highway, behind a few acreage blocks in picturesque Mossy Point and down the end of a long gated driveway, The Oaks Ranch was extensively renovated in 2022. This Spanish Mission-style boutique hotel and signature magnesium pool are surrounded by meticulously curated gardens with the reno respecting the bones of the establishment, which haven’t changed since it was first built as a jillaroo camp in the 1970s.
Now, it’s a 14-room destination hotel with a relaxed coolness and high-design charm and a golf-course upgrade on the horizon. The village of Mossy Point – on the South Coast about four hours from Sydney – is a short drive away, while the popular Broulee with its choice of beaches is just around the corner.The interior renovation by the Sydney-based design firm Partridge Daniels is inspired by the surrounding native Australian bushland.
Arlo, the hotel’s restaurant, sits at the heart of the ranch, with dining branching off the cosy reception area. The polished menu is founded on high-quality local produce – try to dine here at least once during a stay. Sip on a spicy pre-prandial margarita before dishes such as anchovies atop house-pickled carrot on toast or raw tuna with bonito flakes. Time it all to coincide with the setting sun over the festoon-lit pool. A tight breakfast menu is exclusively for in-house guests.
