Welcome to Onyx

Salt air, ocean views, and space to be together.

Set high on the hill at Black Head, Onyx By the Sea looks out over the Norfolk pines to the water. Upstairs opens to a wide deck for long lunches and sundowners; downstairs, a blue-lit garage lounge — the "man cave" — keeps the surfboards, the games and the good times close. Four bedrooms sleep ten in comfort, and the beach is a short stroll down the hill.

The home

A walk through the whole house.

Two levels of coastal living — the bright upstairs opening to the deck and the view, and the blue-lit lounge below. Here's every room.

OPEN-PLAN LIVING

A living room that opens to the sea

The main living space runs straight out to the deck through stacking glass, with a linear fireplace for cooler nights and an easy flow between lounging, dining and the kitchen.

  • Linear gas fireplace
  • Ocean-view balcony
  • Smart TV & fast Wi-Fi

KITCHEN & DINING

Cook, gather, and watch the water

A full kitchen with a breakfast bar sits beside a dining table set against the view — the kind of room where breakfast drifts into lunch.

  • Full-size fridge & dishwasher
  • Breakfast-bar seating
  • Seats ten at the table

FOUR BEDROOMS · SLEEPS TEN

Four bedrooms, each with its own character

From the two king rooms with their hand-painted ceilings to the bright twin room, every bedroom is styled for a proper coastal rest — beds made and ready for a full house of ten.

THE MAN CAVE

A garage lounge built for downtime

Blue-lit brick, surfboards on the wall, pop art, a big comfortable couch and a games setup — the downstairs lounge is where the group lands after a day in the surf.

  • Games & boards
  • Onyx neon & artwork

Rinse off straight from the beach

A copper rain shower on the side of the house — the perfect way to wash off the salt and sand before you head back upstairs.

THE DECK & THE VIEW

The best seat in the house

A wide entertaining deck wraps the front of the home — lounge, dining and the BBQ, all pointed at the water and the Norfolk pines. This is where the days start and end.
