Twenty-two rooms on the edge of the Pacific. A restaurant, a wellness suite and private walking trails, held together by fog, cypress and a very long horizon.

The House

Small on purpose,open to the sea.

Aster House holds twenty-two rooms and nothing more. That number is the whole design brief: enough to feel alive in the evening, few enough that the coast still sets the pace of the day.

Everything a stay needs is inside the property, the restaurant, the wellness treatments, the trails that leave from the door, so the only real decision is which direction to walk.

Rooms & Views

Twenty-two rooms,one ocean between them.

Each room looks to the Pacific. Materials are quiet, oak, linen, stone, so that nothing competes with what is outside. Tell us how you like to wake up and we will place you accordingly.

The Restaurant

Dinner isa short walk away.

The restaurant sits inside the house, which means no drive down the coast in the dark and no reservation two towns over. You come down when you are hungry.

The room faces the water, so the meal takes its cues from the light: long and slow in summer, close and candlelit when the fog comes in.

Guests of the house dine on site. Let us know when you enquire if you are planning to eat with us each evening.

Wellness & Trails

Treatments inside,trails outside.

Wellness treatments are available on site, arranged around your stay rather than a timetable. Book them when you enquire or once you have settled in.

Private walking trails leave directly from the property and move through grass, cypress and the edge of the bluff, a twenty minute loop or most of a morning, depending on the fog.
