It’s funny how cheese can be both everyday and luxurious.

Something you put on the kids’ sandwiches, and something sophisticated you curate and style for friends. This issue’s cover stars, Ellie and Sam Studd, have spent most of their lives chasing the perfect cheesy bite, and now they’re ready to share their knowledge in a new book – just in time for holiday entertaining (aka cheeseboard season).

20 Meyers Place, Melbourne

Many Melburnians can remember a night at The Waiters Restaurant, affectionately known as “The Waiters Club”, which opened in the 1940s. Back then, it was the knock-off spot for European migrant workers who’d file up its narrow staircase to play cards and drink wine into the night. The Sabbadini family took over in the ’70s and still dish up comforting Italian recipes they’ve passed down over three generations. Stop in and you’ll see owner Denis and his daughters Nicole and Jess ferrying out steaming plates of carbonara, chicken liver with onion, and veal parmigiana, alongside chianti in glass tumblers.

Known for: Comforting pastas and its lively atmosphere.

Make sure to: Call ahead to book and BYO wine. Locals say: Look for specials like slow-cooked lamb shank and osso bucco.

Don’t forget: There’s no menu here – everything you need is on a blackboard on the wall, including a must-try tiramisu. — HBS

With temps rising, Aussie underwear label Nala has released Fahrenheit Vol. 1: a bold and summery collection of briefs, bras and bralettes featuring three new styles and three new colours (Canyon, Blue Lagoon and Sugar Plum). Just like the rest of the brand’s super-inclusive – and super-comfortable – designs, Fahrenheit undies and tops are made from innovative eco-friendly fabrics mostly composed of bio-based and recycled nylons.

When we think of essay collections we often picture long words and complex metaphors. But Sarah Firth, a Melbourne-based cartoonist and writer, makes readers picture so much more with her visual essay collection. Firth’s debut graphic non-fiction book collates written work and illustration she’s put together over eight years. It approaches the big topics, like philosophy and science, but includes relatable humour, pop culture references, and those wacky questions you dare not ask out loud.

Witty, contemplative and fun. — SV

Returning for its 27th year, the Japanese Film Festival will light up screens across Melbourne with a rich program of J-horror, historical dramas and modern comedies.

This year’s theme focuses on the link between the past and present, and will open with Tetsu Maeda’s We’re Broke, My Lord!, a period comedy involving a family fortune, shoguns and samurais. Plus, there’s a free series of works by filmmaker Kō Nakahira – a pioneering figure in postwar Japanese cinema – to feast on. — GG

Ayesha Madon Words by Gitika Garg The Heartbreak High actor takes on a new role for Melbourne Fashion Week.

“If you’d have told me five years ago, when I was a student just down the road, that I would be the ambassador for Melbourne Fashion Week (MFW), I wouldn’t have believed you,” Ayesha Madon says.

The actor and musician – and this year’s official MFW envoy – caught the attention of TV fans with her lead role as Amerie Wadia in Netflix’s reboot of the classic ’90s Australian teen drama Heartbreak High. The show went down well with audiences: it remained in the streamer’s top 10 shows in Australia for five consecutive weeks and reached the top 10 in 43 other countries, too.

“As a creative, I always have low expectations in terms of response, so to have this reaction came as a massive shock,” Madon tells Broadsheet. “It sounds generic, but I just feel overwhelming gratitude.”

After graduating from Southbank’s Victorian College of the Arts in 2018 with a degree in musical theatre, being cast in the hit series was a combination of having a (good) agent, years of auditioning and “somehow getting lucky”, Madon explains.

Taking cues from the original show – which explored topics that were brave for its time such as teen sex and racial identity – the contemporary take focuses on weighty themes around gender, sexuality, consent, mental health and police brutality. The show also prioritises diversity, with a nuanced depiction of underrepresented communities, in terms of ethnicity, gender and disability.

As a South Asian-Australian woman in a lead role, Madon talks a lot about her appreciation of the show’s authentic representation of diverse experiences. “For many people of colour, they are a person of colour at home and then, when [they step outside] they’re not really – they are assimilating and code-switching and trying to fit the mould,” she says.

The feeling of having to “mask” your

cultural identity is something Madon and her character Amerie have in common. It’s a point that prompted reflection for the actor during prep for the role. “I love that [the the por portrayal] doesn’t have to be another Indian kid trying to study,” she says. “The show lets us just be Brown and exist without always hav having to address [the topic of race].”

Ideas around social class, gender and sex sexuality inform much of the show’s fashion and costuming – another feature of the series.

Fusing ’90s nostalgia with gen Z aesthetics, it’s a celebration of unapologetic self-expression, the rejection of mainstream trends and a showcase for diverse Australian designers.

While her character’s style is sporty (Amerie loves a statement pant), Madon’s off-screen looks are more “gender non-conforming, edgy and ever-evolving”, she says.

“I go through phases very quickly, so one day I’ll be wearing baggy clothes and the next I’ll be hyperfem.” The singer-songwriter’s cur current phase? Tracksuit tops and pants as she works on writing her next upbeat tunes.

When she’s not opting for loungewear, the actor’s go-to brands include Melbournebased labels such as Perple, Erik Yvon and Strateas Carlucci, as well as First Nations designers like Ginny’s Girl Gang and Clair Helen – many of them showcasing on the official schedule of this year’s MFW. The Student Collections Runway, featuring the innovative work of a new wave of designers, is also a big draw, she says. “It’s like catching geniuses at the beginning of their journey.”

While we won’t see Madon walking down any MFW catwalks, she’s looking forward to cheering on from the sidelines and celebrat celebrating a move towards greater representation in Australian fashion. “I want to see someone’s nuanced experience through their art,” she says.

“The only way you can have interesting work, in my opinion, is by diversifying the creatives.”

Six of the Best Beach Towels for Pleasing Post-Swim Vibes

By Jo Walker

HOMMEY JELLY BEACH TOWEL – $99 The Melbourne label’s Jelly towels are supersized and sweetly striped, with colours inspired by childhood treats. They come from a line of dessert-themed towels that also includes Sherbet, Frosé and Rocky Road. Like the rest of Hommey’s towels, they’re extra plush and made from 100 per cent organic Turkish cotton. gethommey.com

HAKE A LINEN BE ACH BL ANKET – $90 Look, this offering from Byron Bay’s Hakea calls itself a linen beach blanket, but it’s also perfectly legitimate to use as a towel, sarong or toga, so let’s not get caught up in semantics. Made from 100 per cent linen, these beach blankets get softer with each wear. They scrunch down pretty small in your bag, too. hakeaswim.com

VENROY WOVEN TERRY BORDER TOWEL – $120–$150 Laid-back vintage shades and minimalist colour blocking make Sydney label Venroy’s woven terry border towel a fresh, no-nonsense option for poolside lounging. The brand started in 2011 with a run of swim shorts, so the people behind it have put a lot of thought into looking good near water. venroy.com.au

CLOTHING THE GAPS GATHERING BLANKET – $130 Designed by Gunditjmara artist Laura Thompson on Wurundjeri Country, one side of the hefty Gathering blanket is inspired by traditional possum-skin cloaks and the other celebrates Aboriginal language groups. At 200 centimetres by 150 centimetres, it’s also supersized and quick-drying. A great companion at the beach, it works well as a picnic rug, too. clothingthegaps.com.au

MAYDE DAINTREE TOWEL – $159.95 This Daintree offering from Gold Coast towel juggernaut Mayde is lush, warm and big – just like its namesake rainforest. Featuring a terry Jacquard design with tropical palm motif, it’s made in Turkey from 100 per cent cotton and woven in a range of luscious block colours: chambray, mustard, sage, rose and white. maydestore.com.au

BAINA PO OL TOWEL – $130 Baina founders Bailey Meredith and Anna Fahey set out to build an Antipodean brand of “curated towelling”, and this Erin towel features their punchy interpretation of a classic stripe. Double-looped terry cloth construction in 100 per cent certified organic cot cotton makes it especially soft and absorbent. Available in two colourways. shopbaina.com OctOber 18, 2023

HOME OF THE WEEK

Smart home designed for living

“The size and scale allow for the growth of a family; bedrooms are perfectly laid out to give connection for young children, space for older children, and multiple discrete living spaces.”

Words by Joanne Brookfield

The crisp white weatherboard facade here is an unmistakable tip of the hat to the classic Australian beachside homes of yesteryear, yet with its monochromatic accents – contrasting black on the window trims and both the front and garage doors – this is very much a modern home.

Recently completed, it’s a Metricon Signature Series Bayville design, giving it five bedrooms and four bathrooms over two generously proportioned levels, on a block large enough for a lawn at the front and out the back by the pool.

For the school kids, adjacent to the firstfloor retreat space is a fitted study, with the L-shaped desk providing enough space for more than one child to get their work done. (Downstairs, there’s a separate office, for university students or parents working from home).

Also up on this level are three bedrooms (two sharing an en suite, the other with its own) and the impressively sized main bedroom. “This is one of the best master suites I have ever seen, and I don’t just mean for the price point,” Smith says, referring to the

two separate walk-in wardrobes, where the larger of the two also has a storage/display island. “It’s hard to comprehend the amount of shoe and handbag storage without seeing it in person,” he adds.

Inspired by five-star-hotel luxury, the main en suite is as big as one of the other bedrooms, and features underfloor heating, a heated towel rail, a free-standing bath, an oversized shower with a push-button rainhead shower and a dedicated make-up station, with its own counter space, drawers, mirror and stool.

This kind of attention to luxurious little details continues downstairs, where the walls painted in soft, neutral hues allow the gleaming white 2pac joinery to pop in the expansive kitchen, with a FullFlex induction cooktop, double convection ovens and a large island bench. The adjoining butler’s kitchen contains a combination steam oven, an additional sink, and abundant food prep space and storage.

On the ground level, there’s also a lounge (with gas log fireplace), a fifth or guest bedroom, glass-fronted wine storage, mudroom,

powder room, laundry with external access, and entry door to the large double garage, which also has a workshop space.

Sliding glass stackers lead to the private back garden, where you can enjoy summer at home, with space for kids to play on the lawn and swim in the fully tiled pool. For adults, the marble-paved al fresco zone comes with a plumbed bar, beer taps and a drinks fridge.

Security is ensured by the remote video surveillance, alarm, smart locks and remotecontrolled entry through automated gates.

CHEESE DREAMS Words by Michael Harry · Photos by Natalie McComas

Brother-and-sister duo Sam and Ellie Studd grew up with “The Grand High Cheese Lord” – aka their father Will Studd – but the first-time authors are forging their own path with a new book to make sure you never eat bad cheese again.

FEATURE

S

iblings Sam and Ellie Studd were destined to work in the world of cheese, but it took them a while to realise it. After leaving school, Sam rode motor motorbikes across India and worked in hospitality, while Ellie was a clinical nurse consultant at the Royal Children’s Hospital for 10 years.

But since their father, Will Studd, has been the most influential Australian name in cheese for over four decades, they couldn’t avoid the family business forever.

“Dad does cast a very big shadow and I mean that in the nicest way possible,” Sam tells Broadsheet. “We spent a lot of our school holidays travelling around Europe, where Dad would deal with producers, and we’d be hanging out with the kids.

So whether we liked it or not, the family trips were often orientated around cheese.”

We’re sitting in the kitchen of Ellie’s cute-as-a-button terrace house in Melbourne’s inner north, talking to Sam on a laptop from his home in Byron Bay. As his face glows on the bench, Ellie unwraps a wheel of Brillat-Savarin soft-ripened cheese imported by their family business, Selected by Will Studd. She fills a bowl with golden honey, slices a fresh baguette from nearby bakery Loafer Bread, fans out some fruit crackers, and opens a block of Le Gruyere bought on a recent trip to Switzerland.

This is outrageously delicious cheese – the French triple cream fills the mouth with velvety luxury, the gruyere crumbles with lingering complexity. Ellie says she and Sam like to bring cheese to parties and station themselves near the cheeseboard to watch as the guests have their minds blown one by one. As party tricks go, it’s a good one.

When their dad started talking about retiring a few years ago, the siblings realised they had too much assumed cheese knowledge and weren’t ready to farewell fromage.

They have an older sister, Fleur, who runs successful coffee business Market Lane.

Sam is the youngest, Ellie is the middle child.

“To be honest, in the beginning [us working in cheese] wasn’t particularly encouraged, so we really had to go out and cut our teeth,” Sam says. He worked at artisan cheesemaker Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont, USA; Ellie picked up experience at Neal’s Yard Dairy in the UK and later got a job at Melbourne’s Spring Street Grocer.

They both became members of the Guilde Internationale des Fromagers and passed an American-based exam to become Certified Cheese Professionals (CCPs).

BROADSHEET

Credentials in place, they were finally ready to join their father’s business importing cheese to Australia and the USA, sourced from family farms around the world. Ellie has a marketing role in their “day job”, while Sam is across sales.

On the side they’ve launched the Studd Siblings platform to educate the public with masterclasses and media gigs. “Part of the reason we set up Studd Siblings was to curate our own voice, because we don’t just want to be ‘Will Studd’s kids’, as much as we love our old man and he’s done so much for the industry,” Sam says.

“It’s about honouring and respecting what he has done, but connecting it to our own voice,” Ellie adds. “And so much of [what we do] is the same message of preserving traditional cheesemaking methods.”

The siblings have published a recipe column in Delicious magazine for the past six years, and now they’ve written a book – The Best Things in Life Are Cheese – released later this month. The expansive, 304-page cheese companion took two-and-a-half years to complete and offers a crash course in how to buy, store, cook and wow guests with cheese.

It includes 70 cheesy recipes organised by occasion, such as Brunch, Mates and Dates, or Slow Sundays. “We based that on how we talk in real life. Like we say, ‘Do you feel like a Midnight Snackie?’ Or, ‘Is it Sweetie Treaty time?’,” Ellie laughs, naming two more of the chapters. “We have this language around food and it’s often what time of day it is and what we feel like.”

The siblings spent a whole summer on the NSW North Coast testing the recipes for the book, essentially experimenting on themselves. “We never thought it would be possible for us to OD on cheese, but we ODed on cheese,” Ellie admits. “Sammy is an intuitive cook, so I’d be chasing him around the kitchen asking, ‘How much is that, half a teaspoon?’”

Sam interjects: “But just to be clear, all the measurements are correct in the book!”

“It became a hardcore obsession deciding which recipe went with which occasion,” Ellie says. “Sammy would come clambering up the hill and say, ‘Ellie, I’ve got something to tell you, this can’t go in Midnight Snackies, it’s gotta go in Slow Sundays, it takes too long to make.’”

While there are plenty of cheese books on the market (including two by their dad, Chalk and Cheese and Cheese Slices, based on

THE STUDD SIBLINGS’ CHEESE TIPS: SEAL OF APPROVAL Look for a protected designation of origin (PDO) stamp on the label. “That means it’s made within a particular region using a time-honoured technique and is a great place to start,” Ellie says.

PACKAGING Buy soft cheese in a wooden box wrapped in wax paper. “Cardboard draws out moisture, but the paper doesn’t suffocate the cheese, and the wood acts like a maturation chamber,” Sam says.

SHOP SOMEWHERE BUSY The higher the turnover the better, Sam says. “If it’s a busy shop, the cheese will probably be better kept.”

STORAGE Keep your cheese in the vegetable crisper of the fridge, with extra-ripe cheeses in a plastic airtight container to reduce stink.

TRY DIFFERENT PAIRINGS Ellie’s latest discovery is Normandy camembert with a sheet of nori.

“There’s something about the funk and the crispness that adds this amazing umami,” she says. Sam likes Comté matched with a floral coffee, or aged gouda with dark chocolate.

WHAT TO PUT IT ON “We were brought up as bread purists, but I like a cracker,” Ellie says. Sam adds, “The cheese should be the star of the show.”

THE ULTIMATE CHEESEBOARD Adhere to the catchphrase: something old, something new, something stinky, something blue. The book also features a “Rockstar Cheeseboard” – a wheel of Brillat-Savarin triple cream served at room temperature with chilled champagne.

“Let the effervescence cut through the fat and it’s a party in your mouth,” Sam says.

BUY LESS, MORE OFTEN Sam says to buy good quality cheese frequently. “You don’t need a cheeseboard with 10 mediocre cheeses on it. Pick one, two or three options.”

WHERE TO BUY Support your local independent cheese shop and talk to your cheesemonger to discover the right style for you.

Will’s eight-season SBS TV series), there are none quite like this. “We’ve got hundreds of books that are information-dense, but unless you’re a ‘curd nerd’ or a geek like us, no one is going to them pick up,” Sam says.

He compares the cheese business to that of fine wine, with its myriad varieties and expressions of place. “There’s a mysticism to cheese. We wanted to demystify [the industry] and make it fun, sexy and accessible for people.”

Ellie agrees on their demystifying mission. “People get nervous about doing a cheeseboard, or when they go into a shop and see 50 million cheeses staring at them, it can be really intimidating,” she says.

“We wanted to speak to that person who is first walking into a cheese shop or looking at the wall of cheeses at a specialty super supermarket, give them those key knowledge points … and empower them to navigate a pretty complex and vast world.”

The finished manual is user-friendly, often cheeky, and gorgeously illustrated and photographed. And of course it’s a family affair: Ellie’s partner Kirsten Jenkins is a well-known food stylist who helped bring it all together. While mak making the book, Ellie was pregnant with their daughter Stella, to whom the publication is dedicated. As for Will? He was happy to let his kids do the book on their own. “I don’t even think he’s read the book!” Sam says with a wry shake of the head.

“He almost refused, but when it was going to print, I told him he couldn’t read it later and say there’s mistakes,” Ellie says, smiling. “So he did give it a quick glance.”

In the acknowledgements, Ellie writes that Sam is an island, while she is a wave – the brother and sister have somewhat compet competing energies but are ultimately compatible.

“There are obviously family dynamics that play out in business which makes things more interesting than if we just had a working relationship,” Sam says.

“Me and Ellie have travelled the world together, spent time on farms together, have a shared passion and interest. There’s no denying there are disagreements – that happens with all siblings – but we have a collective goal and mission we want to accomplish. We’ve got a message to preach, which is that cheese is amazing. And we want to tell the world about it.”

The main junction is home to a small but impactful thrift scene. Hidden behind Commerce Lane, Market 755 sells confidently curated vintage goods. And, of course, there’s Camberwell Sunday Market, operating since 1976.

Sift through items antique, curated, homemade and preloved.

You’ll also find piping-hot doughnuts filled with oozy jam (approach with caution), cheerful buskers and fresh flowers sold at market price. For a slightly more intentional bouquet, head to Monet de Fleur for artful floral arrangements tied in bespoke wrapping paper designed by the owners’ daughter.

A robust coffee scene includes specialty outfits Collective Espresso, Prospect Espresso and Crimson Coffee, or take your pick from an array of quaint cafes along Burke Road.

If you’re after something on the go, Penny for Pound provides pastries (sweet and savoury) with a nod to nostalgic Aussie treats – including a Golden Gaytime croissant.

Cross through Camberwell Fresh Food Market via the Riversdale Road exit to find efficient queues rolling through Trang Bakery, a local banh mi favourite – filled with a choice of crackling pork belly, chicken, lemongrass tofu or the equally satisfying plant-based mock meats. Or find more good feeds at Toorak Road Japanese cafe Haiku, a go-to for teishoku bento breakfasts.

For a moment of self-care, head to Buff Studios for a neat gel manicure. Or slink into silk hammocks for aerial yoga at bilingual studio Little Mandarin Yoga and Pilates. Prefer tak taking your fitness outdoors? The Anniversary Trail pedestrian and bike path stretches across the suburb, linking play playgrounds and verdant parks.

When evening comes, head to Gloria’s Wine – a lived-in 70-seat neighbourhood bar and shop with a 180-strong wine wall, and plenty of snacky eats and pizza on the menu.

Or there’s Boss Pizzeria, offering rotating woodfired pizzas, plus the key to Camberwell’s best kept Italian dough secret.

Drench Boss’s sweet and freshly fried house-made doughnuts in a thick vanilla custard to top off your night.

WORK UNIFORM

Dewi Cooke Words by Rosie Herdman · Photos by Samantha Schultz

F

or Dewi Cooke, an average work workday requires her to be across many diverse elements – and what she requires from her working wardrobe is just as multifaceted.

Cooke is chief executive officer of The Social Studio, a not-for-profit supporting ref refugee and migrant creatives that’s part fashion school, part clothing label, part ethical manufacturer, part shop.

In all, it’s something of a Venn diagram of Cooke’s interests. A former journalist who’s covered social affairs and arts reporting, she’s also always loved fashion – even more so when combined with a sense of purpose. Since becoming CEO in October 2020, Cooke has enjoyed “indulging more of my interest in small-scale, unique, heritage craft-type pieces”, she says.

“I’m a big fan of small labels that are made in Melbourne or made in Australia, but I also really love a lot of small-scale social enter enterprise-type labels internationally,” Cooke tells Broadsheet. “I don’t think there’s much that I own anymore [that] doesn’t have an inter interesting story attached to it.”

What’s your definition of a good work wardrobe? Practical but fun. I get a lot of joy from my clothes and like to think about the combination of prints, patterns and textures that I’m wearing, as well as repping garments and brands that align with my values. Comfy shoes are a must – I basically live in sneakers or my Henrik Vibskov black lace-ups – but I love a fancy sock, too!

What do you require from your clothes to be able to do your job properly? Truthfully, my work wardrobe is very similar to what I wear out-of-hours. Nothing too precious and some key pieces that I can dress down or up according to the occasion.

My “office” is an industrial working space combining a school and manufacturing studio with loads of people coming and going, so I need to be able to move around easily and jump from normal desk duties, to meeting with a funder, to staffing the store or installing 18

an exhibition, without too much thought.

Do you have a go-to item in your wardrobe that you associate with a good or productive day at work? I have a thing for blue workwear jackets, so no matter what I’m wearing I often find myself layering one of these over the top. I got my favourite one from a trip I made to Japan years ago. It’s falling apart so I keep repair repairing and patching it and it’s now almost like that grandfather’s axe paradox – how much can I replace of it before it becomes a completely different piece? Otherwise, if I’m going to an event or speaking publicly, I’ll generally wear one of our limited edition collaboration pieces (like this Kay Abude x Alpha60 dress) as these are always so special and give me lots to talk about.

What’s your most beloved item of clothing? I’m lucky to still have a lot of my mum’s clothing from the ’70s and ’80s when we lived in Southeast Asia and had access to amazing tailors. And I have some vintage Jenny Kee and Flamingo Park knits that I adore. But the piece that means the most to me is probably this old tracksuit jacket of my big brother’s – he was a great swimmer as a kid and swam in competitions all over Asia. The jacket is covered in patches from his various wins, and it’s got his name embroidered across the front. It used to be my trademark jacket when I was in my twenties and it still fits me now. I don’t think I’ll ever let it go.

Do you have any favourite beauty products? My mum has amazing skin and got me using Ella Bache products at an early age.

I use their Spirulines moisturiser, serum and eye cream but, for cleanser, I tend to swap between a Mecca or Go-To cleansing oil, as well as daily sun cream. I hate the feeling of make-up on my skin, so I only use a Nars concealer very sparingly under the eyes, maybe a tinted BB cream and then a waterproof eyeliner. If I’m going out I’ll go for a bright red or orange lip, but otherwise I keep it simple with a Chanel gloss.

FASHION & STYLE

THOUGHTFUL, CRAFTFORWARD BRANDS DEWI COOKE LOVES THE SOCIAL STUDIO “I wear a lot of The Social Studio’s own label, and labels that we stock in-store like Melbourne brand Remuse or the awesome merch T-shirts from not-for-profit org Music in Exile.” thesocialstudio.org NORBLACK NORWHITE & INJIRI “Generally I love pieces with a story to tell, either through heritage, craft, colour or technique, and I often look to India where there are so many brands doing incredible work with traditional printing and weaving techniques.

Norblack Norwhite and Injiri are among my favourites in this space.” norblacknorwhite.com & injiri.co.in SUKKHA CITTA “I also love the batik work and overall mission of Indonesian social enterprise Sukkha Citta, which works with women across villages in West Java to weave, dye and sew their clothes. They only use natural dyes and are also investing in regenerative farming to grow the cotton for their collections.” sukkhacitta.com KIDS OF IMMIGRANTS “The social message of LA streetwear brand Kids of Immigrants, which honours the hopes and aspirations of immigrant families, really resonates – and they have great graphic design, too.” kidsofimmigrants.us ERIK YVON & GARY BIGENI “In Australia, I turn to these labels for their incredible eye for colour and commitment to locally made, slow fashion.” erikyvon.com & garybigeni.com

TRAVEL

Waterloo Inn, TAS

by Tomas Telegramma

I

n the tiny Tassie town of Swansea, seaside eatery the Waterloo Inn is an Aussie fever dream that you don’t ever want to wake up from.

It’s from owners Zac Green and Alex Sumner, who – in the dead of a ruggedly beautiful east coast winter – inspected a seen-better-days surf ’n’turf diner hidden beneath an ’80s-built red-brick motel-turnedhotel, smack-bang on the beach.

Since flipping it into the Waterloo Inn in December 2021, the husband-and-wife duo have realised what a gold mine they are sitting on.

Harnessing the power of Instagram and wildfire word-of-mouth from fellow venue owners across the Apple Isle, the drab car park quickly became a

calling card for the restaurant – with visitors trekking around 90 minutes by car from Hobart or Launceston. Or strolling in from the appropriately vintage hotel rooms next-door.

Leaning into the nostalgia-fuelled, countrywide motel renaissance, the Waterloo goes all-out with ’80s Australiana. While some of the decor is inherited (kooky kitsch curtains, squeaky vinyl chairs, a chalkboard menu adorned with steak and crayfish illustrations), most of it is the result of the couple’s clever curation. Around the timber-panelled room, punters plonk on novelty food stools (corncob or burger – you decide) beneath a mighty stag’s head, or at the solid blackwood bar. If it sounds

like an absolute hotchpotch, you’d be absolutely right – and that’s what’s so glorious about it.

Similarly, you never know what you’re gonna get from Green’s chalked-up menu. But the former sous-chef at Melbourne’s Movida certainly plays into the old school with past hits like crayfish volau-vents and golden Scotch eggs, and goes hard on crowd-pleasers like anchovy toast, levelled up with piped-to-perfection taramasalata and a spattering of crisp fried rosemary leaves.

With a dining room that’s this much of a time capsule, and views this stunning – across the water to Freycinet National Park – the Waterloo is a beachside boozer we promise you’ll love forevermore.

The state-of-the-art design by Trinity Architects displays graceful arcs throughout. Inside, several levels of splendidly appointed and presented spaces include a cellar, theatre room, lounge and open-plan hub. The staircase is a nautilus-inspired wonder. Looking out over the pool and rear garden through curved glass walls, the hub adjoins a covered terrace with a barbecue and pizza oven. Another barbecue is found on the panoramic roof terrace.

Clever design elements maximise light in this stylish townhouse. A lift connects all five levels. Park two cars on the lower-ground level. The ground level is given to a powder room, a bar nook and an open-plan hub uniting with a compact barbecue courtyard. A laundry, study area and two bedrooms and en suites comprise the first floor. Bracketed by balconies, the main bedroom commandeers the second, while the roof terrace provides sunshine and sweeping scenery.

Ingleside tugs at the heartstrings with a winning combination of Victorian gravitas and life-enhancing modernisation.

The landscaped gardens assure respite, lacework adorns the Italianate facade, and the arched and skylit hallway creates a comely core. Six ornate fireplaces lend old-school romance.

While updated, the main kitchen retains rustic charm. With bedrooms and living areas in the principal build and the two-storey side wing, it’s perfect for intergenerational living.

With a sunken lounge (with fireplace) leading wall-free to a dining room where folding doors part to an open-plan family hub, this house flaunts ample living space in an appealing flow. The tally of five bedrooms includes a contender for main on both levels.

Put that together with the low-maintenance, decks-terrace-and-pool backyard, and you’ve got a family idyll.

Pretty as a picture with a Hamptons vibe, this two-storey home with a pool offers great family options. Enjoy a swim and a barbecue, relax in the family living area or go formal in the front of the house. Builder Devlin Mees’ renovation and extension have produced a terrific home with a retreat, luxurious kitchen and butler’s pantry, hydronic heating and elegant fittings.

This lovingly maintained weatherboard home was built by the owner’s great-greatgrandfather in 1885 when Sandringham was called Gypsy Village. That deep sense of history, from the mullioned windows to the brick fireplace, is matched by spacious modern living with a provincial-style kitchen, generous bathrooms, light-filled living areas and a pool. It’s a short walk from the beach.
