Commissioned House
A customized Drift House experience for larger gatherings, extended stays, and weekends that call for something less ordinary. Built around the property, the guest list, and the rhythm of the stay — with abundant provisions, seasonal luxuries, and a menu shaped specifically for the occasion.
The menu below is an example of what a custom Commissioned House might include.
Commissioned House bookings require a minimum two-week lead time.
