Newport is one of the Northern Beaches' most desirable suburbs, straddling the ocean and Pittwater. With beautiful waterfront properties, generous alfresco areas, and a culture of outdoor entertaining, Newport is a natural fit for a custom outdoor kitchen.

We know what materials work in Newport's coastal environment and design accordingly.

Building Outdoor Kitchens in Newport — What to Know

Waterfront & Hillside Properties

Newport has a mix of waterfront homes on Pittwater and hillside properties with sweeping views. We design kitchens that suit both — open-air setups for waterfront decks and sheltered alfresco areas for hillside homes.

Coastal-Grade Construction

Newport's Pittwater-facing properties are exposed to marine air from the water. We specify full waterproof Stylex carcasses, aluminium-framed polytec Alfresco doors, and Smartstone Sintered benchtops — all rated for marine environments.

Large Format Entertaining Spaces

Newport homes frequently have generous outdoor areas. We regularly design U-shape and island kitchens with bar overhangs for Newport clients who love large-scale outdoor entertaining.

Seamless Indoor–Outdoor Integration

Many Newport homes have bifold or sliding doors connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. We design kitchen layouts that flow naturally from the indoor kitchen to the alfresco area.
