When the waterfront beach shack owned and renovated by journalist and TV personality Samantha Armytage hit the market with a price guide of $3.2 million late last year, holiday-goers expressed their sadness that the shack would no longer be available to rent.
While Sam herself has enjoyed many blissful escapes to the property in recent years with husband Richard Lavender and beloved Labrador Retriever, Banjo, she’s also shared it with holiday goers, renting it for short-term stays on Airbnb for $1200 a night.
Luckily, the beloved beach shack has not been sold onto new owners—it’s simply changed agents, which means that its still available for your next summer holiday.
Sam purchased the Hyams Beach property, located on a pristine stretch of coastline right between Hyams Beach and Chinamans Beach in 2018 for $1.765 million and promptly refreshed the interiors, swapping out nautical decor for a chic, all-white colour palette.
Before and after
Samantha Armytage isn’t the only Australian celebrity who has been drawn to Hyams Beach’s glorious white sand and salty sea air. INXS drummer Jon Farris once lived just doors down from Samantha’s weekender, while The Block judge Darren Palmer recently opened the doors to his Hyams Beach hideaway ‘Akora Cottage’.
The NSW South Coast property isn’t Sam’s only waterfront abode—she also enjoys waterfront views at her property in Sydney’s Rushcutter’s Bay or retreat to her idyllic country home in the NSW Southern Highlands.
