Penders

The Penders property spans 220 hectares along the Pacific Ocean, featuring multiple structures including a nine-sided barn and a geodesic dome within natural surroundings.

Architect Roy Grounds and businessman Ken Myer acquired the property in 1965, establishing structures with locally sourced materials before donating it to New South Wales in 1973.

The site combines architectural innovation with environmental preservation, showcasing structures like the Myer House with Victorian ash panels and a teepee-inspired main building.

The property maintains several accommodation options within Mimosa Rocks National Park, providing access to beaches, lagoons, and various outdoor activities along the coast.

The nine-sided Barn structure uses treated spotted gum logs in its construction, representing an experimental approach to timber building techniques in coastal environments.
