Pottsville, NSW 2489
Aquarium is a luxurious home located metres from the beach in the Northern Rivers town of Pottsville, ideal for multiple families. A barefoot sandy path through some shrubs is the only thing separating the house from kilometres of white sand beach – leave the city behind and fall asleep listening to the sound of waves.
Designed by renowned Sydney architect Michael Suttor, this beautiful home was rebuilt from scratch and completed in 2024. It features elegant finishes with organic textures such as wood, limestone, linen, sisal and sandstone.
Aquarium offers expansive open-plan living areas and spacious outdoor decks. The house has a visually spectacular glass sided pool with windows into the lower levels of the house allowing for underwater viewing of those swimming in the pool as well as a covered cabana with seating for hot days. A viewing platform with seating from the third floor looks out at the ocean – perfect for sunset drinks.
The house is situated in the town of Pottsville with great restaurants, nature reserves, a Sunday market and extreme natural beauty. Minute’s walk up the beach is the mouth of Mooball Creek, a coastal estuary with crystal blue waters and a sandy bank perfect for fishing and family swimming given the protection from beach waves and tides. Only 7km along the shoreline is the surfing mecca of Cabarita beach and it is an easy drive to Byron Bay, Brunswick Heads, Kingscliff and Burleigh Heads – close enough for lunch or dinner but far away enough to escape the crowds.

Catherine – 21st March 2024
My family experienced the most glorious summer holiday with friends at Aquarium. The home is beyond stunning – thoughtfully laid out, with sumptuous furnishings and all of the necessities. The two big master suites were an absolute rarity and ensured that both sets of parents had the ‘best’ rooms, while the kids absolutely loved the big bunk room. The beach was so close and the pool was used by our kids even when it rained! Rooftop drinks while the sunset was our evening ritual. Pottsville is a cute town with some good dining options, and it’s lovely to be so close to Byron without having to stay amongst the summer crowds there. Aquarium is perfect for a couple of families or a group of friends. Total understated luxury, what a fabulous beach house. We will most definitely be back!

I had the pleasure of staying at Aquarium with a group of friends in May. The house is spectacular – I’ve never seen such gorgeous furniture and interior design. The finishes are stunning – incredible sandstone walls and limestone and wood floors! We loved the location – close to beaches and Halcyon House at Cabarita for afternoon drinks and an easy drive to Byron. I loved not being in Byron- so we didn’t have to deal with crowds and running into people. Perfect luxurious stay – 5 star!
