Hi there Nikkibaby and also Bensvillers,

Thank you for the very helpful reviews, it sounds like such a beautiful part of the world. I currently live on the northern beaches of Sydney though i’m looking to buy a house on the central coast, I love the beach but also love to be out in nature with a big back yard or acreage. I run a business from home and love a quiet peaceful life. I have been researching the whole of the Central Coast for the past 8 months and I think Bensville fits the brief for me. I just have one question and i’d be very grateful if you could please let me know what your thoughts are. I have read that Empire Bay has a mosquito issue from November to April, is this something that affects Bensville, in particular on the bush side? I would greatly appreciate your honest opinion.

Thank you.

Warm regards
Andrew

Also I have read that the Kincumber Sewage treatment pant is a bit on the nose, is that something picked up in Bensville?

Hello Andrew,
Occasionally that sewerage treatment plant is on the nose as I drive from Kincumber Central to Bensville, but this has never been a problem for me in Bensville itself (I'm on the "water side", but not quite at the newer housing estate section of Bensville.

Some of Bensville is still unconnected to sewerage, and in that case, one just needs the septic tank emptied occasionally.

It is a gorgeous place to live, surrounded by slender gums and magnificent bird sounds.

As the writer above commented, beaches and the best cafs and restaurants are a zippety zip away.
Such good value.

AndrewG4 - mind me asking where you ended up? We're currently on the Northern Beaches and looking into relocating up the coast and would love your insight. Thanks!

any good nightclubs in Bensville?

Ive heard the mozzies are very bad in Empire Bay from Nov-April. Is it the same case in Bensville? Thanks!

Does the king tired and heavy rain cause flooding to the homes on the waters edge?

Weve been here for 18 yrs since moving from the Northern Beaches with our young family of 5 kids. Our house backs on to the Bouddi National Park. Perfect place for us. We love the Bush, the Surf/ Beach & the shops/ cafes/ great takeaways/ restaurants etc but especially the peace & chilled out environment here in Bensville & in many unique areas all over the Central Coast.
no nightclubs in Bensville.
We have mozzies at different levels depending on the weather & season/ conditions & where you are in Bensville. Were on the bush so we manage them if theyre in large numbers in a particular year. Theyre soon forgotten.
My daughter lives 3 doors from the water & backs onto a tidal She-Oak/ Mangrove area & has never had water go further than her back fence.
I hope this helps.

Hi Felipe.
I'm not sure when you posted this. I don't look here often.
Plenty of School options here. All are good.
Ours were Empire Bay PS & Kincumber High, a long time ago.
I hope you found somewhere great to live here & Welcome!
Have Fun. The Central Coast has so much to offer.

Hi Phil, we are considering moving to this area from the Northern Beaches as well. anywhere between Bensville to Kincumber , Terrigal up to Beatau bay. School are a big factor for us, with one kid in Y1 and another in day care for now. What are public schools like or where did your kids go to primary and Secondary school?
