Ginger - Enjoy a taste of luxury at Sawtell

Ginger is an elegant and generous home nestled in a peaceful street in the heart of Sawtell. Ginger offers all the comforts of home and more.

This special home features three discrete suites: White Ginger, Red Ginger and Blue Ginger. Each suite has an unique theme and each has its own facilities: Bed room with queen bed, Sitting area and Ensuite. Each suite has its own TV/s and the general areas are TV free. Ginger is ideally set up for a family gathering with its generous Living room , dining room and breakfast area. Uniquely, Ginger also provides a comprehensive library. Original artwork adorns the walls and ginger pots throughout suggest a continuation of Ginger's theme.
Ginger has a beautiful stainless steel chef's kitchen, including the latest European equipment, gas cooking, steamer, coffee machine, for the gourmet meal or servery for a take-away from the nearby Sawtell restaurants. Alternatively, guests can use the outdoor kitchen and BBQ for outdoor entertaining.
The gardens are a wonderful green oasis filled with fragrant ginger plants. The courtyard is fenced which enabled us to be dog friendly.
The Ginger has free Wi Fi installed. Our eco-credentials are top rate with power generating PVRs on the roof top and solar hot water and EV charging. 22 Kw - 32 amp Type 2 or five pin three phase charging @ 50 cents per kilowatt hour. Each suite and the general area have their own air conditioning units.
Sawtell's beautiful patrolled surf beach is at the end of the street. The village's vibrant main street is a 10 minute walk away and offers a great selection of eateries, hotel and clubs and the historic Sawtell Cinema. Sawtell's (18 hole) Golf, Tennis and Bowls clubs are also within walking distance.
Coffs Harbour is 15mins by car and has all the facilities of a large regional city.

Ginger delivers a delightfully different and deluxe holiday experience.

The whole of Ginger is available for guetsts. There are three "suites" in Ginger all separated with their own facilities.

WHITE Ginger is a loft apartment style space. It features New York chic charcoal and white with Japanese undertones, including delicate Shoji screens and timber floors. Black leather tub chairs and ottomans provide ultimate comfort for TV watching. White Ginger's open style Ensuite is unique with a wide shower, bidet, wc and a basin floating on a timber counter.
BLUE Ginger is our largest suite. It has a separate Living, Bedroom and En suite. The living area is a contemporary style painted in an edgy charcoal colour. Geoffrey Smart prints set off the space and a comfortable dark leather couch and ottoman floats in the timber floor. A glass desk is available for any last minute work. The bed room is large, light and airy. Black wrought iron touches are thematic. Blue ginger pots decorate the space.
RED Ginger is an eclectic style suite with separate bed room, living room and bathroom. Broad timber boarded floors set off the deep grey retro style couch. The living area has a quaint desk alcove. Marble tops are a feature in Red Ginger, with a base oriental theme. Both the Bed room and the sitting room have their individual TVs. Red Ginger's bath room features a sunken bath. Red ginger is on the ground floor.

Family stay with teenagers
Love this property, third time we have stayed. Beautiful lush gardens and shaded courtyard give a rainforest feel. There are 3 distinct bedrooms each with ensuite and living areas which are perfect for a stay with teenagers. Short easy stroll to a beautiful dog friendly beach and the trendy cafes, bars and shops of Sawtell. Our fur baby also loves this beach retreat!

Great place for friends to catch up
Quiet area & within walking distance to shops, RSL Club, beach etc. Needs some TLC. Outside is messy & filled with random items (trip hazards). Inside is now dated and requires a deep clean (floors & cupboards), tiles need regrouting, window blinds have gaps & in particular, the back bedroom needs a window covering as at night, other quests can see in so had to shower in the dark.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Gee

Host profile image
Alan, my husband and I have lived and worked in beautiful Sawtell for many years now and we just love it. I have a busy architectural practice and we are lucky enough to have built a new experimental building for our studio and residence. I work with our son Oliver who is also an architect. Our dog Gizmo is the the public relations manager. Alan and I love to travel. We also sing in madrigal choir. The choir practices weekly at our home. We love all music genres and I have been involved with Coffs Harbour Regional Conservatorium for over 15 years.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property way back in 1981. At that time Sawtell was pretty but unevolved. We could see the potential in the area and wanted to make the sea change from Sydney. There was one little cottage on a huge block. 5mins from the ocean. We lived there for a while, then built a basic home and converted the cottage to the office. The basic home was serially renovated and became what is now Ginger. When the cottage office reached its use by date, we decided to build an experimental building to house the office and a retirement "apartment" for ourselves. That is when with a few small amendments we launched Ginger for holiday rental.

What makes this property unique

The best thing about Ginger is its generosity. All the spaces are large and comfortable. The three suites allow your travelling group to share and retreat as needed. The design is elegant, with comfort and style equally balanced.
You can bring your furry friends on holidays which is a treat.
Then, Sawtell in itself is a total treat: the beach, the restaurants & cafes, the boutiques, the historic movie theatre. Spoilt for choice.
As a holiday maker you can partake of sports, festivals, culture or just hang out and relax. The world is your oyster at Sawtell.
