My wife and I have spent most of our life advising small businesses how to run their business so we decided to take our own advice and seek a sea change. In 2014 we built a third cottage. We enjoy walking our property looking for koalas, and walking on our private beach. Whilst not surfers ourselves we enjoy watching the local surfers off our point. There are many restaurants in the area and our favourites are La Bimba in Apollo Bay and Chris at Beacon Point. But the Wye River General store is a must each day for a coffee!. A drive to the various wineries and craft breweries in the area is another way to spend an afternoon.
