When a four-legged furry one is a close member of your family, you don’t want to always leave them at home when you’re out doing the things you love. Perhaps it’s a beach run and swim, a forest amble, a chilled-out visit to your fave café or something that’s especially you: like a horse ride with your pooch running alongside, or a SUP paddle with doggo aboard alerting you to the fish and ducks ahead.
Imagine a beautiful new, strata-titled apartment thoughtfully designed for over 55s with landscaped gardens you don’t need to maintain, room for the grandkids to visit and your dog to curl up at your feet.
Joanne Karcz discovers some of the quirky features of this fully functioning Central Coast Lighthouse.
With the nights getting cool and the summer crowds gone, now is the time to think of escaping for a few nights at some of the Coast’s most romantic properties. Nourish your relationship by swapping app-scrolling for reading; work emails for board games; and Run Club for slow mornings at these stunning stays you may not yet know about, writes Jennifer Ennion.
The Central Coast is an exciting place to be right now. The newest and brightest addition is the opening of the $24 million Encore by Mingara hotel, part of the Mingara Leisure Group in Tumbi Umbi, right next door to the iconic Mingara Recreation Club.
With holiday living on the Central Coast, you’re spoilt for choice whether you’re after resort stays, boutique experiences, luxury living or the great outdoors camping and caravaning.
It was a longing to be closer to the beach that had Jade Pentony scouring the coastline. Jade and her family loved North Avoca, a beachside suburb tucked away between Terrigal and Avoca, but wanted to be down on the flat closer to the water.
The Central Coast and surrounds are spoiled for choice when it comes to beautiful holiday spots – from family-friendly options to luxurious retreats.
The beauty of Palm Beach is that it’s only a ferry ride away from the Central Coast, making it the perfect destination for an overnighter in Sydney – without the traffic and noise.
