THE SOUTHERN 

ROOM TO GATHER, SPACE TO UNWIND.

The Southern Dwelling is Dwell’s larger retreat, designed for shared escapes in the wild beauty of the West Coast. Two master bedrooms make it an inviting getaway for two couples, while a bunk room brings the total capacity to ten—perfect for a girls’ wellness weekend or a group of friends seeking a little luxury after days on the trails.

COME TOGETHER, SLOW DOWN, STAY A LITTLE LONGER.

THE SOUTHERN

Warm natural textures and understated luxury finishes create a calm, considered setting. Gather for a drink in the loft bar, find a sunny spot on the sundeck or linger outside after dark as the deck becomes your own place to stargaze.

A generous entertaining deck makes spending time together effortless, with a private sauna and wood-fired hot tub inviting you to settle into a slower rhythm. Whether you’re reconnecting with friends, recovering from a West Coast tramp or simply taking a few days for yourselves, the Southern Dwelling offers space to come together and room to unwind.

    Also, we love pet’s too but unfortunately we can’t have your furry friends at Dwell. There’s unfenced cliffs and lots of wildlife we need to protect.
