Livin' the millionaire lifestyle (3 April 2009)











It’s Friday afternoon and Fiona has finished her calls for the week and she needs to nip to the neighbours to send in her emails. They live in the next beach house which is another fabulous example of contemporary Australian design, complete with full size tennis court. Again, set on the beach with a view of the Indian Ocean and the deserted beach, it won a highly esteemed architectural award when it was built in 2002. It is beautiful and has one rather interesting feature – a loo with a view! One of the loos on the front of the house is fronted by a huge one way mirror so as you sit you can take in the views of the beach and the ocean! As Fiona finished her email we sat with the neighbours on the deck and sipped their champagne (such great friendly hospitality) as the sun went down – a lifestyle I could get used to….
