Relatively new to area, but first impressions good. Welcoming locals, growing economy, some good restaurants (1924 Steakhouse a must) and growing arts & cultural scene. Commutable to Adelaide for hybrid staff.

Starting my day off at Elizabeth Bay marina cafe with a coffee and stunning view over Sydney harbour is the perfect start to my day. Only a 25 minute walk to city or one stop on train from Kings Cross. Super convenient suburb with access to every conceivable need (cafes, shops, medical etc) within a 5 minute walk. Hard if not impossible to beat for singles, couples or small family. Only downside is property affordability but the same could be said for half of Sydney

I live in NSW but visited MG and the Limehouse Coast in 2022 for a short break. My first impression was how lovely and friendly the locals were. The town is pleasant with a few good eateries, a modest but reasonable shopping selection and based next to the beautiful Blue Lake. We enjoyed day trips out to Port McConnell to walk up the (dormant) volcano Mount Shank , Southend andPort McConnell for seafood. . For a young family I could understand the attraction of living here as it’s very affordable. My partner and I would love to return to visit one day especially to visit the local Coonawarra wine valley.
