rowdy

We fell in love with Woombye the moment we drove into the town centre. The main street is picture-perfect with it's sweeping mountain views and quaint old shops; yet behind this sleepy facade is every convenience you could possibly need close to home. The town centre boasts it's own train station, supermarket, doctors, pharmacy, local pub, post office, community hall, childcare and much more.

Our estate is a twenty minute walk to the town centre. It's a little bit hilly and fringed with patches of forest. We love looking out our windows and seeing trees, not fences! To us, coming home to Woombye feels like we're getting away from it all, yet it's just a short fifteen minute drive to Sunshine Plaza or twenty minutes to the restaurants and night life at Mooloolaba.

The neighbourhood is quiet but comes to life of a late afternoon. When we walk our dogs we are greeted with friendly "hello's" by groups of parents sitting in their front yards watching their children play together in the street. Many people walk their dogs without leads and noone seems to mind. Woombye seems to house a good mix of retirees looking for a "tree change" and young families enjoying the benefits of raising their children somewhere a "little bit quieter".

Woombye also offers great value for money without the perception that it is a "cheap" suburb. People always tell us how much they love Woombye when we tell them where we live. We're very proud to call Woombye home.
