Both from Perth, travel has always been our greatest source of inspiration. Our lifelong travels and extended stays in destinations around the globe have naturally brought us to a wanderlust & worldly design aesthetic; while our local adventures and nation-wide design projects have ensured a modern Australian tone is always present.

It is important for us to create a world-class, consciously designed & operated low-impact resort; as well as being a destination that can be a part of a community and the entrepreneurial & creative journey of others.

Our love of sustainable practices, local produce, craftsmanship and music will allow us to develop stories about the people involved in the build and create once-in-a-lifetime events to share with the local community, visitors of the region and our guests.

Our curiosity to continue to learn more about our First Nations culture and Country will encourage fostering of relationships through Dreaming story nights and Indigenous offerings.

We believe that Sebatikel will attract global interest to the town, North West Cape and Coral Coast. However, our intimate guest capacity will ensure that the town remains unaffected, and the site and environment are not disrupted.

Exmouth is our favourite place on earth.

This is our life’s work..
