Having both semi retired from professional people oriented occupations, we enjoy value adding to our property to create characterful environments for us all to enjoy. Having travelled and had plenty of life experience with a genuine interest in people we love meeting up and sharing our slice of living in a small seaside community with a big city close at hand. We love the vibe of the Coast and enjoying the many good quality cafes and environments within easy travel distances.
