Where surf meets stillness on the island’s wild western edge

If you've spent any time exploring Victoria’s Bass Coast, you'll know that Phillip Island is full of beautiful spots, and Cat Bay might just be one of our favourites. Tucked away on the quieter western side of the island, Cat Bay is a true hidden gem: a place where rugged cliffs, gentle surf, and slow, salty days invite you to breathe a little deeper.

We’re always inspired by places that balance natural drama with a quiet kind of charm - and Cat Bay does exactly that. Whether you're heading down for a surf, a beach walk, or simply to sit by the sea with a coffee in hand, there's something about this stretch of coastline that makes you feel instantly grounded.

Our love for Cat Bay often finds its way back to the showroom too. There’s a distinct palette: muted greens from the coastal scrub, warm neutrals in the sand and sandstone cliffs, and soft greys and blues in the ever-changing water. It’s these tones that often influence our styling choices, from textured throws to breezy drapes and coastal inspired homewares that echo the island’s wild beauty.

If you’re dreaming of bringing a touch of Phillip Island into your home, start with soft layering, natural textures, and a colour story inspired by the landscape.
