Sellers Insight

"This apartment has been a part of our family since 1975, making it 50 years since it first became our ‘home away from home’. It was originally purchased because our father, an avid sailor, moored a sailing boat in the nearby harbour and was able to keep a careful eye on both it and the weather! We spent every school holiday at this lovely apartment where the south facing and stunning 180-degree views across Torbay offered an ever changing scene throughout the year. During the day one could watch the boats heading in and out of the harbour, with the evenings offering serene views of the twinkling lights of Torquay below. The apartment is warm and comfortable and provides a sense of safety and security, surrounded by a friendly community. It has been well maintained with updates across the years but is now ready for the new owners to stamp their own mark on it. While it is sad to sell this place, we hope that another family will enjoy it, just as much as we have over the years."
