SITCHU MAGAZINE Explore More Stylish Homes Peek inside exquisite properties and boutique accommodation across Australia and hear what inspired the architects, interior designers and homeowners. sitchu.com.au/home-tours Interior Design: Tegan Sandilands Styling: MyPad Property Styling Build: Alter Build Constructions Photography: Tempus Visuals Words: Olivia Storrie If you’ve ever fantasised about life on a grand country homestead, chances are your vision looks very much like Kingsview Estate. This stately private residence, owned by Kyle Sandilands, one of Australia’s most high-profile radio broadcasters, and his wife Tegan, sits tucked behind a gated entrance and circular driveway in the idyllic rural outskirts of Sydney. Arriving here feels suitably cinematic, with the porte-cochère entrance and symmetrical fountain garden setting the tone for what’s inside. Located in Glenorie, it’s close enough for a commute to the city yet far enough removed from the hustle and bustle for total tranquillity. Kingsview Estate offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful rural lifestyle on Sydney’s urban fringe. That balance is exactly what drew the family here in the first place. “For us, it’s no secret it was to be a weekender for all generations of the family to enjoy,” Sandilands shares. Set on 2.34 private acres, expansive park-like grounds and sweeping views stretching to the Blue Mountains are just the beginning. At first glance, you’d be forgiven for slipping into a Pride & Prejudice reverie — with the home drawing inspiration from classic Georgian architecture. Inside, you’ll find a home that has been designed for both comfort and entertaining, with a bounty of nooks to soak up the serenity of the space. Think multiple dining zones peering out across the verdant gardens and a private study, custom library cabinetry and concealed storage. Classic Georgian architectural principles of symmetry, balance and elegance are evident throughout. Light-filled interiors, soaring ceilings and sash windows sit alongside decorative cornices, elegant columns and beautifully balanced proportions, striking the perfect balance between heritage and contemporary living. When renovating, the Sandilands were keen to honour the integrity of the original floor plan as much as possible. Rather than making structural changes, the updates focused on modernising the residence for an effortless feel as well as extending storage space, introducing thoughtful additions including walk-in robes, generous pantry space and under-stair cabinetry. It’s easy to picture a life here filled with late alfresco dinners, summers spent by the pool and quiet Sundays stretched out across the manicured lawns. Entertaining flows effortlessly from the interiors to a striking diamond-paved grass courtyard, which leads onto the pool and sweeping lawns framed by bushland beyond. There is, as they say, plenty of room for activities. The couple’s favourite space in the home? The Great Room, which has since been transformed into a tranquil living area but has quite the storied past. “Rumour has it that this room hosted many parties in days gone by,” Sandilands shares. “Luckily, the walls can’t talk.” Adding to Kingsview Estate’s appeal is the easy access to Glenorie’s welcoming community and charming village centre — a reminder that while the property feels worlds away, everyday conveniences remain close at hand. With a property as idyllic as this, there’s little reason to leave — and soon, one fortunate buyer will be able to call it home. With its sweeping grounds, grand proportions and timeless Georgian elegance, Kingsview Estate feels like a world unto itself. Now, with the storied Glenorie residence officially on the market, a rare opportunity has emerged for a new owner to step into its next chapter. It’s easy to picture a life here filled with late alfresco dinners, summers spent by the pool and quiet Sundays stretched out across the manicured lawns.

SITCHU MAGAZINE 1. Declutter Before Packing Before the boxes come out, take stock of what you actually want to move. “Ultimately, the less you have to move, the better. Donating, selling or letting go of anything you no longer need ahead of time frees up valuable space and makes the whole process far easier,” says Acton | Belle Property Albany Principal, Chris Wallace. Consider: • Donating quality items to charity • Selling furniture that won’t suit your new floor plan • Hosting a garage sale a few weeks before settlement Less to move means less to organise, and often lower removalist costs. 2. Do Your Research and Choose Your Removalist Wisely The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value. Belle Property agents regularly see the difference a professional, well-reviewed removalist can make, so it’s worth taking the time to compare services and read reviews. If you have specialist items such as artwork, antiques, pianos or oversized furniture, confirm your removalist has the right expertise and insurance. Peace of mind on moving day is worth the investment. 3. Avoid Moving-Day Surprises Before moving day: • Measure your fridge cavity, laundry space and stairwells • Review moving instructions for appliances (for example, many fridges must stay upright) • Confirm access points at your new property A quick check now can save headaches, time and unnecessary costs later. 4. Label Clearly and Strategically Professional packers swear by clear labelling, and so do we. Use coloured tape or stickers for each room and create a simple inventory of valuables. Not only does this make unpacking easier, it also ensures priority items such as kettles, chargers and linen are easy to locate on night one. “It takes time to get settled into your new place and you don’t always know where everything will go straight away,” says Wallace. “Having a dedicated first night box with your essentials can take the pressure off unpacking if time runs out.” Moving house marks the start of a new chapter — exciting, but often challenging. At Belle Property, our agents guide clients through moves every week, and one thing is clear: the smoother the preparation, the calmer the experience. With thoughtful planning and a clear checklist, moving day can feel far more manageable. A Practical Checklist To Help Simplify Moving Day Looking for more tips for your property, or thinking about buying or selling your home? Visit belleproperty.com/buy 5. Sort Utilities and Paperwork Early The administrative side of moving can sneak up, so it pays to plan ahead. Before settlement or lease end: • Arrange electricity, gas, water and NBN connections • Update your address with banks, insurers and subscriptions • Redirect mail through Australia Post • Update your driver’s licence and electoral details Having utilities connected before you arrive makes your first evening far more comfortable. 6. Finalise Cleaning and Last Items Before handing over your property: • Arrange a thorough clean (including carpets and oven if required) • Complete any minor repairs • Take final meter readings If you’re selling, presentation matters right to the end. If you’re renting, leaving the property in excellent condition helps secure your full bond. 7. Check Insurance for Valuables • Check your home and contents insurance covers belongings in transit. • Confirm the details with your provider before moving day Damage during a move is uncommon, but having the right coverage adds peace of mind and removes another layer of stress. Preparation is Key “The logistics of picking up keys, meeting removalists and vacating your existing home are usually what causes the most stress,” Wallace explains. “Packing early, confirming handover times and setting aside time in your calendar for the move can make the whole process feel much more manageable.” Moving doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Clients who start early, stay organised and plan ahead typically enjoy a calmer, more seamless transition. If you’re preparing for your next move and would like tailored advice, speak with your local Belle Property agent. We’re here to support you every step of the way, from sale to settling into your next chapter.
HOME DESIGN From the mattress beneath you to the light, textures and even scent in the air, thoughtful design choices can transform your bedroom into a space that truly supports rest and restoration. The New Sleep Order 1. Globewest Madrid Tufted Bedhead 06
Looking for more home design inspiration? For styling tips, interior design trends and roundups of the hottest new furniture on the market, visit sitchu.com.au/home-design Start With Your Bed It goes without saying that a quality mattress should be the first item on your upgrade list. But not all mattresses are created equal. From cooling gel technology to adjustable firmness systems and zero-disturbance designs, modern mattresses are built to support spinal health and deeper sleep. The key is identifying your sleep style first. Side sleepers, back sleepers and hot sleepers all benefit from different setups, and choosing the right support can significantly improve how rested you feel each morning. If your mattress is showing its age, it may simply be time for a replacement. Most sleep experts recommend upgrading every seven to ten years to maintain proper support and hygiene. Sheets Matter Too There’s a reason slipping into freshly washed sheets sparks such undeniable joy — they signal to your body that you’re safe, comfortable and ready to relax. Fabric is the most important consideration when choosing bedding. Cotton is the classic all-rounder, offering breathability and durability across seasons. Linen suits hot sleepers thanks to its relaxed weave and temperatureregulating qualities, while bamboo sheets are naturally hypoallergenic and exceptionally soft. Your bedding also shapes the mood of the room. Crisp white sheets create a calm, hotel-like feel, while soft neutrals and earthy tones add warmth and a more relaxed atmosphere. Reduce The Clutter A cluttered bedroom can quietly fuel nighttime stress. Busy dressing tables, piles of clothing and crowded bedside tables create visual noise that makes it harder for your mind to unwind. Start by introducing simple storage solutions. Bedside tables with drawers, trinket trays for everyday items and baskets or hooks for “might wear again” clothes can instantly calm the space. Multi-functional furniture is also worth considering. Bed frames with built-in storage, under-bed drawers or ottoman bases maximise space without adding bulk. In smaller rooms, wall-mounted lighting or floating shelves free up valuable floor space and help the room feel lighter and more organised. Colour & Texture The colours and materials in your bedroom can have a surprisingly powerful impact on how easily you relax. Soft, muted palettes tend to work best — think warm neutrals, sage greens or dusty blues. These tones create a calming backdrop that encourages the mind to slow down. Texture also plays an important role. Layering natural materials such as linen, cotton, wool and timber adds warmth and depth. A chunky knit throw, upholstered headboard or woven rug can instantly make the room feel softer and more inviting. Find Your Sleep Scent Scent can also play a powerful role in establishing a bedtime ritual. Using the same fragrance each evening helps train your brain to recognise when it’s time to wind down. A candle or essential oil diffuser placed on your bedside table can become part of that nightly routine. Scents like lavender, sandalwood and chamomile are particularly popular for their calming properties. Paired with the soft glow of candlelight, they help create a bedroom that feels less like a place you simply sleep and more like a sanctuary designed for rest. SITCHU MAGAZINE Sitchu Picks 1.

FOR THE FOODIES Since moving to Australia from the UK, chef Tristan Rebbettes has carved out a quietly impressive career across some of the country’s most celebrated kitchens — from Sydney institutions to the producedriven grounds of Mona Farm. Now leading the charge at Canberra’s Lunetta, he’s championing a style of cooking that feels both elemental and refined, with fire at its core. At Lunetta, which was crowned Best New Restaurant in the 2025 Sitchu Awards, that philosophy plays out in dishes that are generous, instinctive and deeply connected to produce — a reflection of the path that’s brought him here. You were born in the UK but have been living in Australia for some time now - what do you think makes this country so special? Incredibly, it’s now been 13 years since I moved to Sydney at 19 to pursue my career in kitchens — which, mind you, like most young backpackers, was only supposed to be a one-year working holiday before heading back to the London scene. Within that first year, I was completely drawn in by what Australia had to offer — the produce, the people, the culture, and the lifestyle that comes with the climate. Slowly, over time, with hard work and commitment to the Sydney restaurant scene, doors opened. Now, 13 years in, what really keeps me here is that constant urge to explore, eat and experience the endless adventures Australia seems to provide. Your career to date has been so colourful — what have been a few defining highlights? Working in this industry builds strong relationships — you spend so much time together in relatively confined spaces. In Sydney, working at Café Paci (when it was a pop-up in Darlinghurst) was a huge moment, as was being part of the original team at Saint Peter as Sous Chef. Another major highlight was leaving Sydney to take on an Executive role at Mona Farm in Braidwood, which cemented my love of being driven by produce and cooking with fire. Fire-cooked cuisine is having a real moment. What do you think makes it so unique? There’s nothing to hide behind. It’s raw and unforgiving, natural and exciting. What dish instantly transports you back to your childhood? It has to be bread and butter. It’s been a favourite since I was a kid, and it still hits the same way. When you do step out in Canberra, where are your go-to spots right now? Canberra is an ever-growing city of great restaurants — many I still need to get around to myself. But when I do get out, there are a few places I keep coming back to; Bar Rochford, Minima and Such and Such. At The Table With Tristan Rebbettes Executive Chef, Lunetta Lilly Thompson for Lunetta Tristan’s Top Restaurants: This is a simple, generous dish built on good fish and properly browned butter. The anchovy melts into the sauce rather than tasting “fishy”, giving depth and savoury warmth. ” Bar Rochford My go-to for date night. It’s intimate, has a great vibe, good food and a strong wine list. First Floor, 65 London Circuit, Canberra City @barrochford Minima A small, independent local spot serving fresh, seasonal menus with great service. We celebrated there as a team in our first year of operating and it’s been high on my list to return ever since. 3/29 Bentham street Yarralumla eat.minima Such and Such Always buzzing, vibrant and energetic. The food is consistently a delight. Constitution Place 220 London Cct, ACT @and.suchandsuch 08

Add the oyster mushrooms with a pinch of salt and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and lightly caramelised. Make the brown butter Lower the heat slightly and add the butter to the pan. Allow it to melt and foam. After a few minutes, the milk solids will turn golden brown and smell nutty. Add the sliced sage and cook briefly (10–15 seconds). Squeeze in the lemon juice to stop the butter from over-browning. Stir through the anchovies (they will dissolve into the sauce), capers and lemon zest. Remove from the heat and set aside. Cook the fish (pan method) Pat the fish dry and season generously with salt. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Place the fish in the pan skin-side down and press gently for the first 20 seconds to prevent curling. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the fish is mostly cooked through. Turn the fish over, remove the pan from the heat and allow it to finish cooking gently in the residual warmth for 1–2 minutes. The flesh should be just set and still moist. Finish and Serve Warm the brown butter mixture gently. Stir through the parsley and season with black pepper. Spoon the mushrooms and brown butter onto warm plates. Place the fish on top and serve immediately. Chef’s Note: Good fish needs little interference. The key is proper seasoning, crisp skin, and taking the fish off the heat slightly before you think it’s done. 09
