Welcome to Arku House
With breathtaking views of the ocean from almost every room and private beach access this really is the ultimate adults-only beachfront escape!
Iconic 1960s Beachfront Shack
Arku House is a beachfront escape set in the incredibly picturesque Sisters Beach. Completely engulfed in nature, the shack overlooks Sisters Island, has unobstructed views of the ocean and river, is surrounded by lush National Park and boasts private beachfront access.
The house is an A-frame shack built in the 1960s that has been designed to ensure you feel a sense of calm and tranquillity the moment you step through the door.
The design focus for Arku is heavily inspired by New Mediterranean design. Professionally styled, many of the pieces throughout the shack are one-of-a-kind or antique. You will find an array of books, some focusing on the Mediterranean lifestyle which will give you insight into our inspiration.
Old & New
Venetian plaster has been lovingly applied to the walls of the shack bringing depth and warmth.
The floors have been kept in their original state to remind all of our guests of the long life this little shack has had. You’ll find Tassie oak throughout, creating a perfectly imperfect finish integrating the old with the new.
