Water, weather, great place to bring up young families, great outdoor opportunities, the waterways, the walkways… what isn’t great?

What is your favourite café/restaurant and why?

Can’t choose one! The Surf Club for quick easy meals with families and a great drinking place when the sport is on! Spagalinis has a nice feel on the wharf and every time we’ve been we’ve had good food! And of course Raw Energy has the best organic and wholesome menu, fun service with brilliant breakfasts and lunches! Our favourite on a Sunday morning!

Sun, Surf and Energy!

The beach because it is the hub of the city, the surf club for a drink and of course a bit of sport and UnderWater World is pretty neat for kids.
