Todd Woodbridge takes a tour around the historic suburb of Parkville (Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country). At the charming Cafe Piccolina on Morrah Street, the pink terracotta exteriors and hearty dishes welcome both locals and visitors with open arms.
On Royal Parade, Todd steps into Naughtons Hotel, a beautifully renovated 150-year-old building exuding class and comfort, and chats to owner Ryan Berry about the hotel’s cosy accommodation options and meals for any occasion.Â
Brodie Harper heads to the Mornington Peninsula (Boonwurrung Country) for a perfect winter escape. Her first stop is Torello Farm, a popular farmgate selling fresh produce straight from the property and surrounds.
Next, Brodie meets the furry locals at the Peninsula’s first and only goat cheese dairy, Main Ridge Dairy, before savouring British fare and hospitality at the family-friendly English style pub, The Pig & Whistle Tavern.Â
Up on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast (Gubbi Gubbi Country), Madeline Spark shows us why so many people are moving north. She explores the seaside community of Coolum Beach, heading into Compound Surf & Drink Coffee for a coffee and a chat with owner Jono Bailey on how he has blended the local surf and coffee culture together.
My Place is her next stop, a popular beachside restaurant serving up a tasty tapas menu and killer cocktails. Finally, Madeline shows us how this lifestyle could be yours with a tour of the latest property up for grabs in Marcus Beach for the Yourtown Prize Home Draw.Â
Meanwhile, in Mordialloc (Boonwurrung Country) Kris Smith uncovers some gems tucked away in the industrial backstreets. There’s Milhouse Canteen, where brothers Damien and Jarryd are toasting mouth-watering sandwiches in a laidback atmosphere.
For a bit of movement and a sophisticated golfing experience, Kris heads down the road to Golf Studio, Australia’s largest indoor private golf club, complete with a driving range, simulators and a putting zone. Kris rounds off the day with a beer brewed at the local family-run brewery, Wolf of the Willows.Â
