What attracted you to Peregian Beach?

Peregian Beach attracted me right back in 1996 when I bought my house. The empty beaches and the profusion of wildlife were the main reasons, along with the fact the whole village is surrounded by the green border of the Noosa National Park.

I opened my bookshop in 2008, and since then I have fallen in love with the whole Peregian Beach Village community, and the unique features of this little place, such as the kindy, the community garden and community house, the markets, Peregian Originals and so much more.

The Village is a buzzing hub with shops you will not find anywhere else, funky cafes and great restaurants, right on the beachfront. Despite Peregian’s popularity, I find that the residential areas are still very peaceful; I experience no traffic noise and very little human noise in my area, just the night time bush sounds.

I feel blessed to live in this place. I originally came from harbourside Sydney, and lived for 10 years in the Whitsundays, but nowhere compares to this!

Describe Peregian Beach in three words: Piece of paradise.
