A day in the life living at Palm Beach

Moving into a new neighbourhood can be daunting. You need to find a new favourite cafe where the barista knows your coffee order without even asking. And try all the local Thai takeaway spots to find the one that does your go-to dish just the way you like it. But it’s also exciting—think of all the new people to meet, restaurants to eat at, and places to explore. Especially when you move to Palm Beach where life is good 365 days of the year.

Our latest Mater Prize Home lottery No. 299 is placed in the heart of Palm Beach, just off the beautiful beachfront. While you won’t be short on excuses to stay at home whenever possible in this luxury 12th-floor penthouse Mater Prize Home, there are also plenty of good reasons to jump in your Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 SUV (included in the prize lottery) and explore local hotspots, or find ways to spend part of your $50,000 in cashable gold bullion within your new community.

Here’s a glimpse at what a day living in Palm Beach could look like for your new life:

Wake up with an ocean swim

Glancing out at the beach from your spacious penthouse balcony is an idyllic way to start every morning. But when paired with an invigorating ocean swim as soon as you wake up, well, life doesn’t get much better. A short walk from your home, just throw on your bathers, grab a towel, and head down for a refreshing dip. It will clear your head for the day ahead and is Mother Nature’s version of a morning caffeine hit to get you going in the morning!

Stock up on fresh produce at the local farmer’s market

Every Saturday from 6am, the Palm Beach Farmers’ Market takes over Palm Beach Currumbin State High School with stall upon stall of locally grown produce, delicious food, great coffee, cool clothing finds, and unique handmade homewares and gifts. You could jump in the car and be there in under 10 minutes, or you could take a leisurely 30-minute stroll along the beachfront and earn your morning pastries from The Romano Bakery. With live music and fellow locals to catch up with, prepare to stay for most of the morning.

Browse the boutiques to update your wardrobe

A new lifestyle deserves a new wardrobe to match. Palm Beach has an eclectic selection of stylish boutiques to help you switch gears from your corporate city life to the laid-back vibe of beachside living. Local hot spots for shopping include Palm Collective for effortless linen dresses and shirts; White Bohemian for a mix of Australian and International boho designs and coastal home decor pieces; So Jaded to accessorise your new look; and Strange Days Store for one-of-a-kind vintage finds.

Wind down for the day with a paddle up the creek

Palm Beach is spoilt with calm and picturesque creeks on either side—there’s Tallebudgera Creek north of the beach and Currumbin Creek in the south. Both are great choices for a stand up paddleboard afternoon session as the sun sets, or a quick dip to wrap up another perfect day in paradise.

Head home in time for sunset

As the afternoon comes to an end, it’s time to make your way home for the best view in the neighbourhood of the sun setting over the hinterland as the waves softly crash to the other side of you. Pour yourself a vino and get comfy on your private penthouse balcony as you take in that glorious display of pastel hues on the horizon. You’ll never get tired of ending your days right here.
