Just 15 minutes from Noosa, The Gingerbread Cottage sits tucked away on 5.4 acres in the tightly held enclave of Tinbeerwah. Listed with Alisa Wythes from Hinternoosa, this unique character home blends rammed earth and timber, with soaring pitched ceilings, travertine and slate flooring, and a strong connection to nature.

Styling a home like this takes vision. With its earthy textures, warm orange tones, oversized bedrooms, and quirky details — like the upstairs study with a steep pitched roof — buyers often struggle to picture how to live in it. That’s where our Property Styling Manager, Nick Counsell, stepped in.

Nick embraced the rich palette rather than fighting it. He worked with the orange tones, layering in white, glass, and soft neutral pieces to lift the space. He used rugs throughout to soften the tiled floors and bring warmth to each room. Every layout decision focused on functionality, helping buyers understand how the spaces could work.

This home has a clear artistic soul. Nick’s styling honoured that, adding personality and character rather than a one-size-fits-all look. He saw its potential, leaned in, and delivered.
