A lifestyle shaped by the coast

Fall in love with our home

Life on the Central Coast feels easy, but never ordinary. Mornings often start with a walk along the Ulverstone foreshore or a quick coffee at one of Penguin’s main street cafés, where the baristas know your name and the ocean is never far away. Weekends are for markets, bike rides along the coastal pathway, or a swim at Buttons Beach.

Inland, the region’s fertile farmland fuels a growing food and produce scene. Think farmgate stalls and community gardens, or boutique makers selling honey, gin, and handmade goods at the Penguin Undercover Market.

Here, there’s time to breathe. The roads are clear, the pace is unhurried, and the mountains and sea are always just minutes apart. Whether it’s swimming at Preservation Bay Beach, kayaking down the River Leven, or catching a sunset from Hall Point, it’s a lifestyle that blends nature and community in perfect balance.

Where life and opportunity align

Embrace the best of both worlds

Living on the Central Coast means you don’t have to choose between lifestyle and ambition. It’s a region that offers both: space to build, freedom to grow, and a community that celebrates creativity, progress, and possibility.

"We love bringing our kids up here. Initially I started Buttons Brewing here because I was the only craft brewery on the Northwest Coast and that was an advantage. Now, the advantage is just the lifestyle and having a great place to bring up a family. "
