The Invisible Cost of Coastal Living: Is Your Home Breathing In Too Much Salt?

There is a distinct reason why property prices in the Eastern Suburbs are among the highest in the world. Whether it’s the morning swim at Bronte, the coastal walk from Bondi, or the simple pleasure of an afternoon ocean breeze, the lifestyle here is enviable.  However, that coveted ocean breeze carries an invisible element that is relentless in its ability to degrade our homes: airborne chlorides, or as we know it, salt spray.  Most of us are well-versed in the “coastal maintenance tax.” We know we need to rinse the salt off our cars after they’ve been parked on the…

Clovelly Beach: A Family Favourite with a Story to Tell

Clovelly Beach is one of those special places that truly feels made for families. With its shallow shoreline, calm and protected waters, ocean pool and relaxed village feel, it’s a favourite for mums pushing prams, toddlers learning to splash and kids gaining confidence in the water.
