GREAT escape

This Aussie home is sunshine on a plate – full of Moorish touches, mellow finishes and sunset hues, it's the perfect place to get away from it all

EXTERIOR

Built in 2000 by an architect inspired by the traditional builds in Spain's Granada, this secluded coastal home has Moorish influences. Owner Jen Cadman, who is also a designer, updated the facade by refinishing it in a striking coral colour With its coral facade, Moorish arches and palm-studded garden, it’s easy to mistake interior designer Jen Cadman’s home for a lush Moroccan getaway.

In fact, it’s tucked away on a leafy hillside just a 10-minute walk from Palm Beach, an hour north of Sydney, Australia. But when she escapes here with her family, it feels for all the world as though she could be on another continent.
