A Holiday House with a past life
About The Prescription Pad
Before it became a place for pool comps, hot tub chats and barefoot BBQs, The Prescription Pad was an actual doctor’s surgery in Shearwater. These days it hands out a different kind of treatment plan, time with your people, space to unwind and a break from the everyday.
We didn’t want to create a show home. We wanted somewhere that feels lived in and easy to be in. The kind of place where the board games are always out, the eight-ball is on rotation, adults can exhale and there’s space for everyone to truly relax.

Our take on a good holiday
The house was redesigned with groups in mind. Two or three families. Old friends. Cousins. Celebrations. Long weekends. No stiff styling or “don’t touch that” energy. Just comfort, room to spread out and a layout that lets everyone do their thing without getting in each other’s way.
We’re big believers in the kind of break where the best moments aren’t scheduled. A soak in the hot tub, a late-night pool tournament, a beach walk in thongs, a chat over breakfast that rolls into lunchtime.
Prescription: Take as needed
We’re here to give families and friends a place to reconnect without the stress. If you leave feeling lighter, closer and already planning your next stay, we’ll call that a full recovery.
