House hunting can be the pits. That said, sometimes it can be fun to up your price range all the way to the tippy top to see how the other half live. That's how we came upon 74 Bacton Road in Chandler, which is undoubtedly one of Brisbane's most impressive addresses. Boasting a number of too-good-to-be-true lifestyle offerings – we're talking a mancave, mudroom, outdoor cinema, soccer field, two gyms and a games room full of arcade-level fun – this fancy address is worth having a gander at. more

On the whole, working from home is great. The lack of any kind of daily commute, the ability to sneak a siesta at lunchtime and wearing pyjamas all day are pretty high up there on the list of perks. The pitfall, of which there is really only one, is that it can be pretty lonely at times. It's a feeling that Marissa Bowden, one half of The Village Markets, knows all too well. It was this exact sentiment that was the catalyst for Sun House Studio, a gorgeous new creative space in Burleigh Heads. more

The Golden Ticket Motel is the antithesis of that. What the heck is the Golden Ticket Motel we hear you ask? Boy, are we glad you did ... more

There's something uniquely special – and terrifying – about coming up with a completely out-of-the-box idea. On one hand, you're creating something super exciting that's brand-new in the space. On the other hand, there's nobody that you can look to for guidance as what you're creating hasn't been done before.
