From the moment one steps foot into Driftwood, there's an unmistakable sense of belonging, as if the whispers of the past and the embrace of nature converge to create a unique ambiance. At its heart lies a collection of 19 homes, each a masterpiece of design crafted during the 1930s to 1940s by the acclaimed artist Mark Dixon Dodd and the esteemed local architect Archie Parish.
