InStyle Magazine features Barrenjoey Villa
The latest issue of InStyle is featuring one of our newest and hottest properties ‘Barrenjoey Villa’. Owned by Collette Dinnigan and her new husband Bradley Cocks, Barrenjoey Villa is an absolute jewel located in the heart of Palm Beach.
Her name calls to mind meticulous design and intricate embellishment, red-carpet glamour and exquisite bridal elegance. So discovering that Collette Dinnigan is a barefoot bohemian in her downtime comes as a surprise. But sitting inside her whitewashed, three-bedroom weekender in Sydney’s Palm Beach—just over an hour’s drive from her inner-city headquarters—the designer is, indeed, a world away from care. “This home has such a welcoming feel,” she says, “I love to just watch the tide come and go.” The interior of the home offers a stark contrast to her nine-to-five surrounds. “There’s not an inch of my office that isn’t covered with something—it’s packed with fabric, buttons and lace,” explains the 45-year-old designer. So, “at home, I like a more minimalist look.” Awash with New England-style greys and whites, this light-filled two-storey beach pad reminds Dinnigan “of that Hamptons feel, which I love,” she says. “Everything weathered but of a certain quality, and a sense of freedom—so even if the weather’s bad and we have to batten down, it’s not too precious and fragile.” It’s the third property in Dinnigan’s portfolio—her working week is spent in eastern Sydney, and she owns another holiday house in Milton on the NSW South Coast. “I’m always impulsive when I see something I like,” she admits.
