We take the boat out on the weekends, only a short drive to Jacobs Well. We love Sth Stradie and the access to the spit. We boat it in often.
Pimpama is not far from anything. We live in the Hawthorne Estate. It is so peaceful, it has a town feel. All ages live in our street and everyone is always friendly. People you don't even know always say hello when passing in the street. I wouldn't know any other place on the Gold Coast that would have this ideal lifestyle. Gold Coast beach is only 20 minute drive via Smith Street into Southport and then you are straight into Surfers. M1 from Hawthorne Estate is literally less than a minute and we can be in Brisbane in 40 minutes. It is always a smooth run. Fair enough peak hour can take longer but it nothing major. Traffic still flows. We honestly cannot wait for a little corner shop and a local petrol station, there is even talk of the bus service will be up and running this year. Jamie Duries Estate has taken off which I believe will have restaurants and specialty shops. I can honestly say that every time I drive home I feel happy and at ease living in a beautiful part of the world called Pimpama.
