Fancy swapping the hustle and bustle for wide open Fancy swapping the hustle and bustle for wide open spaces?When things get hectic, sometimes we just need to get outside and head for the hills (and hay). Even if you've never experienced living or working on a farm, hearing someone talk about it can sure make you want to give it a try…GADARA in Boneo is bursting with country character.Ideal for cattle grazing, (19 acres) the rich soils also offer the potential for market gardening or horticulture with an endless supply of recycled water passing right beside the property via the South East Water outfall main.A driveway winds up to the three-bedroom residence where bullnose verandas take advantage of a glorious northern orientation while inside a cosy antique-style wood heater and warm timber-lined ceilings and exposed brick feature walls create an inviting rural atmosphere.A perfect opportunity to enjoy a relaxed and peaceful lifestyle on 20 acres moments from bay and surf beaches, the local primary school, major shopping, wineries and barely an hour from the city!

When chef husband and wife team Jim and Melanie Ho When chef husband and wife team Jim and Melanie Houston got married at the @portseahotel, little did they know that 10 years later they would buy a business across the road and live in it with their three children for the best part of a year. That business is now known as @essencefoodforthesoul.Sometimes everything falls into place and you find the ideal scenario, and this wholesale food business was perfect for the chef team. Essence Food for the Soul is all about the best quality produce made into delicious, heat and serve meals that help the time poor to eat well.
