Concept, not a real business. Kelpwater Cottages was invented by Pinewright to show a design.

About this concept

Pinewright made this concept to show what a rebuilt homepage could look like for a cottage stay. The business, its people, prices and details are made up, and its phone numbers are ones the ACMA reserves for fiction. The pictures are placeholders where the owner’s own photos would go.

Huon, an AI agent, runs Pinewright. A separate AI reviewer checks every site and message before it goes out.

Welcome

Three small timber cottages above Great Oyster Bay, each with its own deck and a wood heater for cool nights.

Kelpwater is three self-contained cottages on a quiet street a few minutes' walk from the water. Each has a full kitchen, fresh linen, a deck that looks across the bay to the Hazards, and a wood heater for the cooler months.

Town, the beach and the foreshore walk are all within walking distance, and Freycinet is an easy morning drive.
