How to spend the perfect day in our Mater Prize Home

Some homes are designed to do more than meet your needs—they shape how you live. Surrounded by nature and set high on a peaceful 4.5-acre block, our latest Mater Prize Home lottery No. 320 offers a sense of calm that’s hard to replicate. It’s spacious without being overwhelming, luxurious while still feeling warm and welcoming, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

In this stunning prize home, every detail has been considered—from the way the morning light moves through the open-plan living space, to the quiet luxury of a glass-edge pool that looks out toward the Surfers Paradise skyline. It’s a home that creates room for both movement and stillness, where the boundaries between indoors and outdoors blur, and the rhythm of each day feels effortless.

Here’s what your new normal could look like—from AM to PM.

Morning: Wake up to wow

Mornings begin with the soft glow of daylight pouring through the windows of your luxurious main bedroom. You stretch out in bed, greeted by sweeping views that take in the coastline from Coolangatta to Surfers Paradise. There’s no rush. Make your way to the kitchen, pour yourself a coffee, and step out onto the alfresco area to soak up the stillness of the hinterland all around you.

It’s the perfect space to ease into your day—peaceful, private, and elevated. If you're feeling motivated, lace up your sneakers and head out for a walk or hike. There are plenty of nearby trails to explore in the Bonogin area, or you could take a short drive to Springbrook National Park for waterfalls, fresh mountain air, and breathtaking scenery.

Prefer to stay close to home? Your very own basketball half-court is ready for a quick game, or you can take your coffee down to the fire pit area for some quiet reflection before the day gets going.

Midday: Flow through the heart of the home

Late morning and lunchtime are when the heart of the home really comes alive. The open-plan layout makes everyday living feel effortless, especially in the kitchen and living areas where high ceilings and natural light make the space feel bright and welcoming. The kitchen is fully equipped with premium appliances and expansive bench space, making it a dream to cook in—whether you're prepping a quick lunch or entertaining guests over brunch.

This is also the time of day when the home’s outdoor features shine. Open the doors to the alfresco area and let the breeze roll in as you enjoy a long lunch outdoors. With a built-in BBQ and bar fridge, everything you need is within arm’s reach. Let the kids shoot hoops while you unwind, or spend a little time tending to the gardens with the ride-on mower (included in the prize lottery).

If you're heading out, Robina Town Centre is just a short drive away and offers everything from boutique shopping to delicious cafes and restaurants. Or take a detour to Burleigh Heads, where you can enjoy a walk along the headland or dip your toes in the ocean before heading home.

Afternoon: Poolside bliss and quiet moments

As the sun sits high overhead, there’s only one place to be—by the pool. The heated magnesium glass-edge pool is an idyllic place to float, unwind, and enjoy uninterrupted views of the hinterland and beyond. The magnesium water is gentle on your skin, making it ideal for daily swims.

Afterward, dry off in the sun-drenched lounge area or head indoors to the media room for a laidback movie or a nap on the couch. For those working from home, the private office will make going to work more bearable than a lengthy commute.

Evening: Entertain, unwind, and enjoy the sunset

As the sun begins to dip and the sky turns shades of amber and pink, the real magic of this home comes to life. The alfresco area becomes the ultimate entertaining space. Fire up the BBQ, pour a drink, and settle into the outdoor lounge while the city skyline begins to sparkle in the distance. It’s the kind of view that makes every night feel like a celebration.

Whether you’re hosting friends or relishing a quiet family dinner, this space sets the scene beautifully. Later, move down to the fire pit to toast marshmallows or simply sit in silence under the stars. If it’s a cool evening, head inside to the gas fireplace, curl up with a book, and feel the stillness that only comes from being surrounded by nature.

Night: Drift off in complete comfort

When it’s time to wind down, retreat to your main bedroom. Before you close your block-out curtains, take one last look at those sparkling city lights in the distance. Finally, lay your head down and fall asleep to the peaceful sounds of the tranquil hinterland outside your window.
