ROYAL PINES WELCOMES NEW LAKEFRONT LIFESTYLE PRECINCT

IT IS SOMEWHAT FITTING THAT THE GOLD COAST’S NEWEST LIFESTYLE DESTINATION IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY’S ORIGINAL, PREEMINENT LIFESTYLE PRECINCT AT ROYAL PINES. The thriving waterfront village of Marina Concourse, completed late last year, has transformed the Royal Pines Marina into a vibrant new community complete with luxury apartments, alfresco dining, yoga studio, swim school and local businesses.

Created by the multi award-winning Sunland Group, Marina Concourse has shown strong appeal to local downsizers and ‘lifestylers’ who value quality design and leading lifestyle amenity.

Sunland Group Managing Director, Sahba Abedian, said the prestigious location, size, and orientation of the apartments within Marina Concourse have been a strong drawcard for the local market.

“Marina Concourse offers a rare combination of lifestyle and position,” Mr Abedian said.

“The majority of apartments enjoy north-facing views overlooking the Royal Pines Marina, PGA Championship golf course, and the Nerang River.

“Royal Pines Resort also features a world-class day spa, restaurants, tennis courts and events.

“At the marina level, the new Marina Village precinct features a collection of dining, retail and recreation spaces created for the enjoyment of residents and the community.”

Earlier this month, new lakefront restaurant

Double Barrel Kitchen & Bar opened within Marina Village.

Owners Jessica Winters and Peter Tutton said the restaurant presents a destination dining experience offering quality coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and private functions.

“Having such a beautiful north-facing waterfront location lends itself to relaxed morning coffees, long lunches with friends, and balmy afternoons and evenings on the deck,” Jessica said.

Other tenants within Marina Village include the State of Sahaja yoga studio, Superfish Swim School, Alliance Abroad, Century 21 Central GC, and Sunland’s Gold Coast offices.

The final residences are now selling at Marina Concourse, with two-bedroom apartments priced from $525,000.

“The restaurant offers full table service, breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, and a fully stocked bar.

Private resident amenities include a resortstyle pool and pavilion, nestled between Marina Concourse and the Nerang River. The precinct also provides a boat ramp to the Nerang River and is only a short walk to Metricon Stadium.

“It’s the perfect setting for milestone celebrations such as birthdays and anniversaries, or balmy afternoon drinks on the deck.”

The new display apartment, furnished by King Living, is open daily from 10am to 2pm, Thursday to Sunday, or by appointment.

The restaurant will serve breakfast and lunch daily and will open for dinner Friday and Saturday.

We Know The Goldy.

We love our Gold Coast and with our extensive local knowledge and Partnerships with Gold Coast leading businesses and the most prestiges Real Estate agencies, we believe Local people should be using Local business. With a massive growth in all areas across the Gold Coast we have designed unique publications that are specific locally targeted to each suburb.

ADV has over 200 000 magazines being distributed across the Gold Coast each year with 8 publications in 2019 with the aim to achieve 2 more areas by the end of year. What makes our publications different to any other is the professional presentation of our hard cover magazine targeting the high end and local market, with each issue being placed into mailboxes and across prominent businesses, waiting rooms, coffee shops and shopping centres.

We love to have a local message that is relevant to the reader, currently powered by the Real Estate news in each suburb, but also providing interesting articles on people, places and events that make our Gold Coast the best place to be.

This is why we believe advertising with ADV publications will benefit both reader and advertiser and create a genuine Local Living vibe. We hope to create a clear message of what Local business are doing in your area, and be involved with the story they have to tell.
