Rubus Blue, Berry - by Linnaeus Collection

Summary:
The hotel alternative, redefining regional hospitality.

Rubus Blue delivers a sharper architectural expression, clean lines, defined volumes and light-filled interiors positioned moments from Berry village.

Part of the Linnaeus Collection, The Hotel Alternative, this residence balances contemporary design with effortless indoor–outdoor living.

The Space:
Steel framing and expansive glazing define the home’s architectural character, creating refined, light-filled interiors with soaring ceilings, generous proportions and a natural connection to the surrounding landscape. The open-plan kitchen and dining area extends seamlessly to the covered entertaining deck and heated plunge pool, bringing indoor and outdoor living together with ease.

A secondary living room with a wood-burning fireplace introduces warmth and intimacy within the clean architectural envelope, offering a quieter retreat separate from the main entertaining spaces. Dining is curated in partnership with Villeroy & Boch, with selected tableware complementing the home’s contemporary design language and remaining onsite as part of the permanent collection.

Four ensuite bedrooms provide privacy and comfort, each thoughtfully designed with natural materials and soft finishes. The master suite features a freestanding bath and a striking glass-lined daybed overlooking the neighbouring park — an architectural moment designed to maximise light, outlook and connection to the landscape.
